In the Shifting Wastes, more are killed by sand than by steel.

The sands of Amonkhet can be as much a boon as a bane. It depends entirely on which way the wind blows.

Did you know that at ECL we can sandblast any rock of your choice and paint it to suit? Here are two address rocks that have been blasted, painted, and installed into garden beds. Add some style to your home or business. Call [phone] for more info. https://bit.ly/2QygZtD

2 May 2019 | Elroy City Cemetery, Juneau County, Wisconsin

A special occasion today. Contracted to add lettering to the back of this beautiful Wausau Red monument, and a final date to one of the complementing foot stones.

Look at this thing. I recently learned from a retiring stone carver that different blasting media produces different results in terms of finish on the granite. This is the first time I have noticed an example of it in the cemeteries. Note not just the craftsmanship of the shape carved flowers, but that there are three different textures, and therefore colors of the same red granite within the design: polished deep red, a soft pink from frosting with sand or some other similar media, and then a finish in between the two, which must be what I was told about earlier this spring....the result of frosting the granite with steel, if I remember correctly. There is no question, when you observe the history of monument making in the cemeteries, that we don’t value craft and beauty the same way we once did, less than 100 years ago.

The first of the pair fitted in two of the same-sized custom-made shadowbox frames. Though the plaster lips were cast from the same mold as the other, this one's ‘moon-crater’ finish was carved afterwards by using different-sized wood gouges. The whole casting was deliberately broken in three pieces and then rejoined with blind dowels so the cracks were visible. The irregular surface was textured by dripping molten solder onto the dried plaster — with the splatters later glued into place.  The coloration was achieved from a steel-powder pigment applied to the plaster with a chemical patina applied later to develop the oxidation.  The whole was sealed with a matte acrylic varnish, and the lips darkened with lightly buffed pigmented wax.
