Hi guys. A little more prog on the Tangs but nothing worth showing just yet; looking like next week now...
In the name of 'progress' I've been keeping better records and am here to share. Ive been picking away at this new guy for a wee while & have him almost ready for sanding. Until I spend a day slabbing some new, thicker slabs Ill just have to press on with what I have but am starting to think more and more about 3-Dimensions. scary.


Face-off...

Back on again...

Not quite the end, but...

This guy is going to have mother-of-pearl inlays in his eyes & I have one last detail planned for him that I have never tried before...

I also have a full progression for you soon. I am recreating an ealier piece for a friend of mine and have taken lots of shots along the way. Ill wait until its all done and post in one hit; it is a relatively simple piece but I thought the keen amongst you might like to disect the process..?

We got the front fence finished today and I must say it turned out even better than invisaged. Half way through putting up the boundary fences and soon our large rocky puddle will be safe! :lol:

Take care all.
Tama :)
