Hi Tama, ok I am totally bummed! That piece just exploded in my hands, I think I went to deep...bummer, well it was definately a learning piece. I am starting on one of yours tonight.I will do something simple first, I think that other piece was too hard for a first time too. I did some more rock, which I am still working on. The figure one I am most proud of, I carved it out of a 4 inch river rock, my hands are killing me, but I love it :) I haven't polished yet, but you can see most of the detail in it's white stage, let me know what you think

This was a 4inch river rock, green and yellow in color, The face looks weird, but that was due to the lighting. I still have to go over the lines and sand, but this could be my best piece yet. I also did the hole through the head and hand, like your "swinger" :)

This one was a good face design when I realized the more I sanded the more these little holes appeared in the design. It's like the rock had air bubbles in it. I will smooth it out and when it's waxed it actually looks better. I will some new pics tomorrow of it.

This was a design I saw on the web and wanted to see if I could do it with a rock. I carved it all the way through
