Alabaster by Guy Michaels

Glen and Carol recently mad a trip to Half Moon Bay and stopped by Guy Michaels' studio. They picked up some exquisite new pieces of alabaster while they were there. Here are some of the new pieces.  Stop by and see them when you get a chance!

    

Artist Guy Michaels has spent the last 15 years perfecting a unique art form: turned alabaster vessels inlaid with segments of exotic woods. Each piece is a one of a kind since nature provides an endless supply of colors and patterns in each alabaster stone. Alabaster is becoming a rare stone with fewer quarries available to extract the stone. Choosing one of these unusual pieces will turn your home decor from ordinary into the extraordinary. His hand-crafted art has an inspiring beauty that draws from a variety of influences, including Old World, Native America, and natural elements.
