<p>I wanted to get thet ball rolling on this, because I just feel so greatful to have this source to learn, grow, and get motivated and inspired to work in this wonderful craft. For a little over two years this site has been a daily pilgrimage for me, and along the way, many of you have made your mark on my mind, and inspired many projects to come.

<p>First, thank you so much Nathan Giffin, for putting this site together, maintaining it, and being the one to take this art to a whole new place, and then share it free of charge with the world. I'll never forget the night I stumbled across a picture of your work on the net two and half years ago. Nothing has been the same ever since. THANK YOU!</p>

<p>The project I'm currently working on has been a work in progress for over a year. From the start, I designed the whole thing in my mind using pictures mostly from this forum.

I WILL give you all kudo's as the job progresses...</p>If only a vertical artisan could have done this right!tag:verticalartisans.ning.com,2011-09-17:2294914:BlogPost:751622011-09-17T00:51:33.000ZDavid Driggshttp://verticalartisans.ning.com/profile/DavidDDriggs

<p>I thought I'd post a PPS of some photos of the Naica Crystal Cave in Chihuahua Mexico for your enjoyment and reference. Replicating this environment will require a different vertical formula altogether. All rock-heads should find this very interesting. Enjoy!</p>
