First, Nice 9 hole pekapeka, he/they is beginning to breathe and take on a life of their own, you have done well. After reading the book too it's no wonder you have not been able to determine where the jade was from, of course the book is old by 30 + years but some things don't change. Love your Stormy piece Especially after living through Tropical Storm Fay who has been a real PAIN and looks to be the first storm to impact the WHOLE state of florida coming ashore here 3 or 4 times ! You should make copies and market them here in Florida :P Agree with Tama the teacher in that the key s an Ambitious project and that I believe you are up for it. You seem to have the patience and "Sticktoitiveness" it takes to do such a piece. Can't wait to see the postings for that piece.
