Thanks Robin. I will definitely keep trying to come up with new tricks for these little guys, as long as the stone is willing. More eyes for sure - maybe with a wiggling tongue next time!

If you've been wondering why I havent visited much lately Paip, its simply because Im not worthy; you're Tohunga.

Tama :wink:

Does this mean I have to ban you from smoking in my workshop now? :lol:

G, thanks for the comps, although I have no idea who or what a RonCo is! I am assuming it is something good?

Kaha ki'i, head on over anytime bro. Tama and I will show you the sights and you can can teach us how you get those tiny little skulls looking so good. I might even have sussed out how to mix a mai tai by then!

Clarita, Bowana - thanks. Stoked to see some new work form both of you this week!

I had a pretty good weekend in the ol' studio - got a couple of pieces I've been working on for a while finished and new one well underway.

#40 "Mata Rahi" finished:

#41 "Cool name goes here" underway. Hard to tell in the pics, but this is really nice variegated jade, going from golden yellow rind at the top to nice apple green gemmy goodness at the bottom. I'll probably just do hollow eyes and mouth for this one so the stone isn't overpowered.
