The one for Christie is amazing, looks so great with the
hibiscus colour. Wow perfect match.
And the new ones are looking great too,
keep up the awesomeness my friend!
I know it's easy for you :)

Thanks a LOT guys and girls too, I Know it's been too long since I updated everything but is what it is I guess. Here's the small Jadeite Hei-Tiki finished with blue eyes of Lapis. The black Jade one did not fare well after she jumped off the bench with a bit of elbow help!

Love the lapis eyes. Sorry about the black jade piece. Looks like you need a rubber floor (or elbow restraints)!

Wow
Awesome

Thanks everyone and Will, that was almost a year ago and I hear say the # 70 is coming up next. Don't know where I read this but it fits," If I'd known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of my body"! Cheers

Well I Finally finished the Hippo Tusk Maori face. Seems like it took forever, Enjoy.


Looks incredible, Benz !

I've not been on in quite some time, but it's always great to come back and see you're amazing work !

Enjoy is an understatement.
Those eyes are wild.
What took so long probably was lining them up right.

Wow. The expression you've created here is so intense. I can't imagine the time you must have put into this. Outstanding!!

Wow
Jaw just fell off...

Ben, what an amazing pendant. I treasure mine! Hopefully I can get up there soon to visit!!

I'm always amazed at your attention to detail

Well well well
