Funny, first thing I thought of was a fern/toungue too! Very cool how the jade goes back behind the eyes to also act as pupils. Has anyone ever told you that youre getting pretty good at this carving business? *Invention is the key mate: move so fast that the ripoff merchants simply cant keep up.. (like LLT!) :wink: ps: Im just waiting for the call 'Maitai O'clock' - I trust we will be supping from P'po mugs?
