Oh! I could almost see the house where I was born in.
Too bad my eye sight is failing me. :-)
Welcome to CP's Web page. [Site map]
Hi I'm CP.
My wife gave birth to two identical twin girls in August 97, and we have been very busy ever since. I'll try to record our babies' progress in a journal format on this home page. You can find out how it feels to be parents of identical twins by reading about what we have gone through.
Come visit our identical twin babies.
My interests include:

Take my advice, avoid crystalfox. Their website has many pictures of beautiful crystals, but the way that they conduct business is NOT very professional in my opinion.
Nancy, the owner has absolute zero tolerance for my complaints and constructive suggestions to the problems in their ordering process. She basically said she didn't want my complaint so she didn't want my business. To avoid unneeded aggravation, I would suggest staying away from business with such attitude towards customers.
The uniqueness of the Steinbach crystals is that the design is partially carved on the backside of a prism of optical quality glass. When viewed from the front, the design is completed by the total internal reflection of the prism to form a symmetrical sculpture. It uses the physics of optics as the medium for the art.Oriental crystals from Taiwan
[these pages on newworkshop.com are mainly in Chinese, but contain some English and a lot of photos of the art pieces.
This site is served by AsianNet from a gateway in Chicago IL, USA. Download is quite decent given all the photos.
