It all started from here in August 2007. In need of something to act as a head-rest for the headphones I keep at home I decided to slice the bottom off a large pebble that is part of a collection in our village garden. It was something of a surprise to find that the pebble was in fact made of marble.

My marble headphone stand did the job perfectly, so I decided to make another for my office desk.

Selecting a suitable pebble from my collection I again sliced of the bottom to find that is was black marble. Having seen many imaginary faces on my original pebble headphone stand (depending on the angle of the light), I thought a little modification to the black marble pebble would make it look a little more like a head.

What appeared after an hour or so with an angle grinder was the piece I call Burma Girl, I had no preconceived idea about what I wanted it to look like, she just appeared.

So where did these marble pebbles come from? Well that's another story which deserves another page.
