Hey Folks, well I am new here, I have been fascinated by the jade carvings and shell work of the pacific and New Zealand for several years.
I am in the process of setting up a work shop, getting tools etc, but I do have jade.
I live in Canada and so our BC jade, (mountains of it), is very available.
My handle is "Ammochild", ammolite is one of Canada's finest gem stones if worked properly, actually a fossilized sea shell., which I placer mine.
The "child" is that I am so new to the traditions of jade carving, I will combine jade and ammolite.
Creating a new form of personal adornment in the Big C, is key to this journey.
So far I think that this site is "TOPS".!
