Now he looks even better. I wish that I had his life!

My cat is so happy today. I left him yesterday to ski and he missed me. He is staying close to me in my studio today.

The cameo just arrived. It is BEYOND what we expected!!! We are so in awe of your work and our treasure. The Diamond set on the back was a wonderful surprise. Your work is truly magnificent. I know that I have said it before, but you are a truly gifted artist and it's my pleasure knowing you. We plan to work with you again soon. My mother was floored! She cried in a way that I have only seen her about jewelry since my father gave her gifts when he was alive. She was... so touched and I heard that she has worn it every day since we gave it to her. She apparently is just taking walks so that she can show it off. She is planning on buying a glass encasement so that when she is not wearing it she can display it. She said it is her most valuable piece and she's a huge jewelry collector since she began working in her 20s. She has wanted this piece since my girls were born and she told me that she was even investigating who could do a cameo for her, but she said nothing she saw was even remotely close to this. It was everything we hoped for and more. Thank you for letting us have this moment with her! Thank you again for everything and wishing you the best! We appreciate your artistic gift and are thrilled to have this amazing piece in our life...Lisa - New York . . . . . #giftformom #giftforgrandma #highjewelry #bespoke #oneofakind #cameo #cameoportrait #portraits #portraitcameo #garetheckley #necklace #pendant #unusualgifts #gemstonejewelry #gemcarving #sardonyx #layeredagate #grandchildren #goldnecklace #personalizedjewelry #blue #cameojewelry #customcameos #gemstonecarving #personalizedjewelry See more

Today I am carving this beautiful picture of a mother and her new baby. I work closely from the photograph, having already corrected the original photo for any angular or barrel distortion. I also use these reference casts from @philippefaraut to check proportions. This will be fun today carving the stone to create this portrait cameo.... . . . . . #behindthescenes #portrait #carving #creatingbeauty #artiststudio #gemcarving #garetheckley #portraitcameos #cameos #mother #motherandbaby #newborn #newbornbaby #kelowna #christmasgifts See more
