    Oh my gosh!!!! How lovely! The cactus looks like flowers floating in the resin. Gosh, Ken, that is fabulous.

    How clever, Ken. That looks fabulous. The cactus was transformed from something unsuitable for turning into the perfect decoration to the rim area of this bowl. Very nice - I look forward to what you do next.

    As I watch you mix colors my mind says "I'm not sure about those color choices " and everytime you make something absolutely stunning. Keep doing what you're doing and keep proving me wrong.

    Beautifully done! I was horseback riding in Arizona many years ago and my horse bumped into a “jumping cholla”. That was a heck of a ride as he tried to buck them off. Thankfully one of the wranglers was able to swipe it off with his knife. It sure added some excitement to the trail ride!
