Manta rays sculpted from Black Galaxy granite

This is awesome! I really envy those that can carve such a dense medium, or anything for that matter!

Very nice! You managed to get the elegant sweep of their wings in your carvings. They really are interesting creatures. I saw two adolescent rays playing in the shallows of the Ala Wai Golf course and they were swirling around playfully chasing each other. I also witnessed a GIANT ray emerge from the pea green waters of a boat landing at the Honolulu Tower. I was at a party and looked over the rail and suddenly the entire boat landing was filled with the form of a Giant black ray that came to look at the party goers. I was the only one who saw him/her, as it submerged just as quickly as it emerged. I wasn’t even drinking! Honest!

savannah505,
Very nice job,those rays, simply glide, assumingly effortlessly, just above the bottom of the ocean sands! Amazing, that you can make stone so life like. Congratulations, again Sir, for a very beautiful piece of Art work. Take care my friend.

Sincerely,

It’s so easy to visualize that they are in the ocean swimming; once again great work.
