who are these people......?
This is Commander Larry Castle, creator, developer and owner of Carved Opal and Obsidian (COandO). With him is Bosswoman Pamela, head of organizational skills, product research, and international relationships. You will see one or the other of them at any gem show appearance COandO makes, and very rarely you may spot them together...at the SAME TIME!
we love to do yoga, hike, and hide in gutters dressed as clowns...
what are they doing......?
Gem shows, gem shows, and more gem shows....
just another day at the gem show
front table display- yum yum!
skulls and stone carving case
hiding out behind the pink door
Of course Larr and Pamela cannot keep up with the sheer madness which is a gem show without help!
