I really like using the burner to do the moko on this piece. It's a flippable pendant - it's hard to show in the photos, but once it's on, you can flip it back and forth to get the two different faces. The top of one ends up being the chin of the other side. Face #1: Face #2: Side View, you can see face 2 and the tongue of face 1: As always, this swap really pushed me to try something different, and now I have a new tool to do all sorts of new and different detail. Although I'm not looking forward to sending this guy to his new home, I can't wait to see what I get - all the pieces are incredible! Mieko
