The Denver Museum of Nature & Science (DMNS) has on display 20 wonderful, whimsical gem-carving sculptures by Russian master artist Vasily Konovalenko. To date, very little has been published on the artist or his work, particularly in English. Since 2009, DMNS curator of archaeology Steve Nash and photographer Rick Wicker have
been working to fill that gap in our knowledge. They have traveled the world to photograph and fully document the Konovalenko gem-carving sculptures. As of late 2014, they have examined and documented more than 95% of the known pieces, totaling more than 70 sculptures. This paper focuses on the 20 DMNS sculptures by offering background information on the artist and his career, both informed by oral histories with the artistÕs wife, Anna, and others. Coupled with WickerÕs high-resolution photographs and a mineralogical analysis by curator of geology James T. Hagadorn, NashÕs research reveals KonovalenkoÕs remarkable and world-class talent for making silent stones speak.

Canvas crossbody messenger for work, school and travel. Beautiful dark green
This is a great canvas tote messenger crossbody bag. The canvas material ensures that it’s durable and can hold all the things including iPads/laptops and other school/work related items, making this a great school or commuter bag. It’s the perfect size for that type of bag as well as for traveling when you need extra room to carry necessities. I ordered this mainly because I have plenty of fashionable bags, but my husband likes more plain or “gender-free” bags to carry and this one is perfect for boys, men, girls and women and literally anyone needing a satchel to carry their belongings. The crossbody strap is thick and comfortable and creates a super easy wearing experience, where all your things are close and easy to access. I love the dark green color where even though it’s not black/brown it’s still a “neutral” and matches most everything. Overall it’s a great bag at a great price point that could work for most people needing this style/size. If like me you want to jazz it up a bit, there’s plenty of room to hang bag charmies and chains and the canvas is even easy to hotfix rhinestones to. Would also make a good gift and especially if someone is traveling or moving as I love this size for travel to carry all the extras. I’m very happy with the quality, color, size and comfort.
