@ntrusc very nice. With your location being UK you could go out and find your own. Excellent display pieces.

Thanks, I do find quite a few myself, there’s some earlier in the thread made with yorkshire ammonites. Hard to get enough that are translucent  to use in quantity for these.

Really like the clocks!

 

Maybe make clocks with all ammos having the same point on each shell face the center, so it looks somewhat like the numerals on this one? 

 

 

I think the rotation effect would be cool!

Thanks, that’s a good idea, I’ll try it on the next one.

Beautiful Neil! My grandmother used to do stained glass work as a hobby. Your work brings back found memories of her “sun catchers” hanging in the windows of her house. 

[MeargleSchmeargl]

Yay, more art to stare at!

 

Out of curiosity, what exactly goes into making all these things? Give us a little tour of the workshop?

[peystone]

These are great, usually Im not a fan of working fossils to create something but this works very well, and you can still appreciate the fossils

I'm lucky enough to have had a look in Neil's workshop and seen what goes into making these beautiful stained glasses and the splitting and polishing of the ammonites.

A creative job well done.

Thanks John.
