WOW Amy! Those are incredible!!

I don't know answers to a lot of your questions - but from another newbie, my hands (and arms) hurt for over a week after the Oki Oki. They're still sore in places cause I keep carving. (and carving and carving...)

I haven't used my dremel at all, so all my sanding and carving is by hand. It may be easier to do circles and curves with hand tools, although I'm sure there's something you can use on the dremel.

Your egg guy is great! I had much worse luck with my design on an egg, but maybe I'll try again. :) I really like how you brought the arms in, he makes me think of a hedgehog a little bit. Your stone guy will make a great pendant, maybe even string it up on a silver chain.
