Hello Alex,
Yes i like the stone.
It may sound strange, but i must say, each time i see white water or milk used in viewing stones i am shocked.
I know the thoughts behind it, but for me personally it is not necessary, in any case the practice disturbs for me the free appreciation.
When displaying, i think it is worth considering if this practice is necessary?
Can you say something about the use of the white cushion for a mountain stone as well?
I am eager to learn from others.
regards, Sunip

Hi Sunip,
I totally agree with you regarding the with milky white water,actually its just for the portrait purposes so that it can be some sorth of gauge to see more clearly, but when i display it on exhibit its just plain water
The cushion likewise is for me to take the picture, it is suppose to be in suiban with sand but i'm still finding the right size for it.I'm having difficulty in our country to look for pots as suiban,we are still quite infant in as far as suiseki is concern.Thank you for candid quiery and feel free to comment and i will be more glad to answer to the best of my knowledge
A Friend,
Alex

Hi ogie

I like yout black stone very much. How big is it?.
Look forward to one day to see it in a suiban.

It looks like a very hard stone, and to show it weath may not be the right thing to do.

A daiza, and a good indor yoseki/polish to give patina will highlight parts on the stone. No water in the pool.
As it is a mountainstone is this for a winterdisplay.

For summerdisplay in a suiban is this hard stone, with the indor-yoseki shown, with only a little clear water in the pool, and not weath all ower. IMHO

Kind tegards yvonne

Hi Yvonne,
Im happy to hear your suggestion. Yes it is a hard stone,it needs more weathered aging to show its full potential,i will soon post it in a suiban display without wetting,feel free to give your opinion,all will be taken in consideration.Thank you so much for your insight

Thanks Yvonne,
Glad you like the concept of my daiza
Your Friend,
Alex/Ogie

Hello Alex.
In my eyes the pronounced front of the daiza with the feet, is a bit to much.
The fit with the stone there is also not tight.
I personally would try a more reserved daiza.

Hi Sunip,

Hello Alex,
My first impression is; Venus of Willendorf,
this is one specimen found in Austria, but all over
there are finds of different prehistoric small sculptures (paleolithic),
they are seen as fertility symbols.

Hi Sunip,
Thank you for the info,always a pleasure to hear your input

"SANTA CLAUSE"
Hello Alex,
Looks like the big bellied, golly fat guy, in a red outfit who comes on Christmas Eve,
sometimes called Chris Kringle, St. Nicolas or by many other names throughout the world.
He's caring a large sack hung over this shoulder full of gifts for good boys and girls.
With arm fulls of toys, candy and goodies in celebration of the birth of baby Jesus.
He rides in a sled pulled by twelve rain deer, one with a red nose who leads the way.
Comes down your chimney and leaves presents under your Christmas Tree,
Bigger and Better ones if you leave cookies and milk as a Thank You for him.
It is the most joyous occasion for children!, and grown ups who like to play the part of Santa.
I believe this art if seen through the innocent eyes of a child is easier to understand...

Hi Stoner,
