Hi Doug,
Welcome to your first Challenge. To say this piece is outstanding is an understatement. We bow to you o’ artisan of jewels.

O-k NO FAIR. How does a painter try to match up to the SPARKLE and GLITZ of this. …is the jewelry a compliment to our work or are we a compliment to the jewels! Wonderful capture right down to the pearl like petals.

I’ve asked the producer to send us a DVD of the segment and will send it to you the minute it arrives. Congrats Doug and big hugs! I’d add another zero to the end of the price tag on this piece if I were you.
Be sure and blast the news all over your website.
You’re officially a CBS Sun Art star.

My family is in Montana and I lived in Hobson for awhile. I had a Yogo sapphire claim in Sapphire Village in the Pig Eye Basin and I was the head jeweler for the Vortex Mine. I am now back in my beloved Ozarks in Missouri where I’m trying to: finish my stone castle, make beautiful jewelry, and get as much time kayaking on my river as possible!

Hi Doug-
What a great environment for creativity! And a stone castle- how much fun is that?!?
Congrats again.
