Glad to hear that you like it. I am also kinda curious to see what a glaze will do to this type of texture. I may stipple a test tile then glaze it or maybe, like you suggested, glaze the inside, eyes and teeth. Then finish the rest off with a stain that would really bring out the holes.

A toothpick would work, but because it is pretty much the same thickness troughout, all the holes will be uniform giving the piece a very "neat" look....You just gave me a great idea! What if you were to tape say, 15-20 toothpicks together, creating a toothpick/stippling stamp! After using the "stamp" you could hit a few spots with a pencil creating larger wholes so it looked more natural. I'm fresh out of toothpick's but will get some by this weekend and try it out. Thanks teaKEY!
