Hey gang - No progress on the new pebble piece Im afraid. It was on the cards but Im just not sure where Im going with her just yet. Decided not to alter the back any further. After the third thwarted attempt at carving suspension holes and some niggling deliberation, I finally conceded that perhaps there arent meant to be any.. I kind of like the idea of a small 'alter' piece, perhaps housed in a carved wooden surround of some sort & able to be lifted out for fondling purposes..? Not sure yet.

Jen/Timid: I never expected my work to end up the butt of such appreciation! :lol:




Ben: Sorry to hear that your 'Box of 80' has grown - mine has just decreased by one... :wink:

'Teeny-Tiny Tang' in Australian Black nephrite, just over one inch tall..





Sorry it took so long mate. After a bit of head-scratching and several months I finally worked out how to get those hands to sit 'upon' the belly Ben. Managed to add a few fingers too.. :wink:

Hope Sherry likes it! Check PM.


Just had the message that the digger arrives tommorrow! Dig, dig, dig...
