Coral from Mullet
« on: May 14, 2012, 07:56:22 am »
Eddie gave me a couple of coral chunks that I started on at the Classic and just finished. Gotta say that I really like working it. Hope to paint it red in a few months 8) Thanks again Eddie!

Oh, the moth is a Cercopsis, I think

I love coral. Sharper than hell and durable. Reminds me of ct quartz but pleasurable to work. Good job on that piece too tracy

Thanks for all the great comments.
Jamie, tis sharp and can't wait to shoot it!
Chertle, are you an entomologist or just an enthusiast on insects? What exactly is the species of moth?

very nice point! The moth is a silk worm moth. We use the cocoons here in California to make old time Dr rattles. I will take a pic of the one down stairs later.

Really, I would have guessed that to be a recently emerged cecropia moth. I'd have to see it with the wings spread to know for sure.  Been a long time since I saw one.

Beautiful point!

That coral was like candy, Tracy. You made a nice point out of it and coral looks nice in red.
