I just couldn't bring myself to touch the natural shape/suface of the pebble as I received it. I like the idea of pearl shell (perhaps with a black coral pupil) and will check that out. I tried paua for the tail but it didn't look right (the color was too strong for the jade). I like Benzart's idea and will search for the right feather . . . somewhat muted in color so as not to detract from the jade. Cheers, timid [ Edited by: timidtiki 2008-03-20 14:16 ]
