Thanks guys! Benella, I love the carvin' jack! It's fun! Conga, thanks! Magnifying head band... that's the way I see that little stuff! and JP - it's Serpentine stone, which is green. Oils from your fingers can make it dark, but I hadn't intended on making it dark. I was hoping the green would stay. But, after I put beeswax on it - that is when it happeneed. I heated up the rock a little too, so the beeswax would flow, but the consequence was unintended. It does look kinda neat though, now that I'm done with it. I think the serpentine stone is ok for learning, but as soon as I get good enuf (if ever), I'll try some jade. Thanks for the comments and checking it out. [ Edited by: tikigap 2007-01-11 12:12 ] |
