Wow! Way cool Wendy! Thanks for the shell necklace! I love it. I'll bring it to me when I go to Ohana By the Sea in October and anywhere else I go before that.

Congrats on the 400 pages! Very nice. :)

I decided while carving my Hawaiian shirt platter for the swap that I need carving lessons! I have a hard time making my lines smooth and getting the little crumbles out of the grooves. I know I have a hard time determining "leather hard" but I think I might need more tools! So far I've carved with a clay carving tool, a wooden clay carving tools, both from school plus a tiny screw driver, a paperclip and a pencil. I'm hoping my friend the art teacher has something that looks more like a dentist's tool that I've seen you use. I'm almost completely done with the carving. Next up - stressing about the glazing!
