Thanks guys! Appreciate it much. Here is a piece I'm working on and then a piece that is finished.

I love doing the simple nature stuff... leaves, florals, etc. So here is an attempt at combining tiki in a nature scene. It's supposed to be a baby marquesan tiki sleeping on a leaf. Still need to figure out how to tighten up the detail, but I like the overall concept and simplicity. Will be a necklace piece for a friend. Measures about 3" and the tiki is about the size of my thumbnail. Was able to thin out the leaf a little less than 1/8th inch. Any bits of advice to offer on what I can do to make this little guy betta, I woudl appreciate.

Here is a request from a friend for his wife. Their wedding ring is an orchid with maile lei forming the band. Took some pics of the ring and went to work. Was not exact like the ring, but close enough (my interpretation :) this one is done... just need to rope it for necklace.

Thanks
