Hi Guys n Girl. No carving today, my head was the wrong shape... Benz: Yep, thats the big one, now in 5 pieces: well, 4 pieces: one block has now been slabbed down to about 30 pieces, each of which may yield 1-4 tikis. Its a comfort to know Ive got a good stash of working material in this precarious industry. There is no 'place' to go to buy raw jade... Ill PM re:lb QueenK: I dont know about Tamas' Royal Order - Would they let me in? Id hate to imagine the shenanigans! :lol: Bullet: I hearby call to order the first meeting: my place; bring a bottle! :lol: Cheers Marcus: I wont dilly dally any longer; Im guessing I dont want to keep a guy named 'Bullet' waiting for his hat...(gulp) Gman: It really is nice to have that subtle curve through the whole piece. Ill be working that into some future pendant designs I reckon. Takes just that little bit of extra thought (& stone) but worth the effort (& stone!), makes the whole thing that bit more 'organic' than just flat which is my usual practice. Hopefully back to this one tommorrow. Shalom. Triple T |
