It was one of those pieces where I just kept going and sanding / tweaking little areas I thought could be better. The jade is extremely unforgiving of mistakes and I tend to obsess over it. The teeth were sort of planned, but I didn't make up my mind on them until the rest was done and I could see how they'd look. I've put the next couple of jade pieces on hold to get through a few new pebble carvings...some will be redux versions of some earlier carvings, and some are for fun. This one is for fun: "Mask of Yatumba" [ Edited by: Paipo 2007-07-26 03:26 ]
