It's always great when you peeps stop by. I attended a "killer" Halloween party last night, paying for it this morning. (~~) Perhaps a hangover is the perfect thing to get one focused on carving? Hmm, probably not. :) This one started off very different than how it fished up. I wasn't planning to do the paua "wings" they just sort of happened on their own. It was a nice challenge to get the patterns on the shell to match. That red in the paua is just my red t-shirt reflecting in it. I inset both pieces from the sides, it's not one piece going through the whole thing... or is it? Sort of looks like a space ship to me from this angle.
