I find it incredible that anyone can still talk as through they imagine Labour’s current leadership are not primarily in post to intentionally mow reforms lawn.. Especially after the acres of macerated and excreted plants including that massive Corbyn marrow and the entire Tax the rich meadow!

#lewisiangneiss is a wonderful material to work with. Here in a fabulous local wall.
Thankfully diamond tools enable us to produce small delicate forms from this mass of metamorphic marvel and we pride ourselves on being the first to carve earrings from stone more typically used as aggregate #gneiss

Olivine is beautiful to work.
This is the Hebridean Greenstone and every fragment is precious.

#GneissThings Keystones
Carved from a variety of ancient Hebridean materials are available from various spots in #Scotland
Each is individually carved following the same pattern language but everyone different in dimension.

If you are a professional carver in the Outer Hebrides it’s compulsory to carve a Lewis chess piece.
This is one we carved using the tonal bands of Lewisian Gneiss to add depth.
Available currently in our studio.
