STONES

    Valco Flagstone is selected for its quality to accept the inks without bleeding. The stone is shaped naturally honoring its innate strengths, beauty, and natural faults. The stone is prepared to accept the ink, by being scrubbed, rough and fine sanded and then polished. The inks are layered on the stone using architectural drafting pens and stainless steel nibs in a crosshatch technique. Stones are left to breathe and accept the ink between layers. If specified, a personal message is placed on the stone in illuminated calligraphy. Each piece is signed and dated, and 'never' duplicated! A fixative is applied and once dried a triple gaze is used to seal and protect the piece. A UV protecting agent should be applied if the stone will be exposed to natures elements in a garden or as a welcoming item at the door.
