So....let's say you wake up on a sunday morning and decide you just need to do a "little
something" to a carving...and you find some cheap seashells and think they might work for
eyes. Like this...

And to make it work you need to undercut an opening in the eye so the shell will fit....

The handy dremel took works pretty well to dig under the opening so the nasty parts of
the shell will fit under it

Then another coat of stain...this time a shade darker...and we have either improved or ruined
a fine tiki carving

Now the carving looks sorta like Petri the wonder dog

And that's it for another week...or so...thanks for visiting Congas Corner.
