The color is true on my monitor and translucent in the thinner areas. I'm considering hollowing out the back to a thichness of 1/4-1/2 inch and making it into a nightlight. What do you think? The Heart of Darkness/Envy? Thanks for looking. Front: Back: Oh . . . there was a bit of undercutting in the black areas! I'm not sure why but I'm working on it, with a 600 grit diamond finish.
