LLT, I get my inspiration from creative savants like yourself. TikiG, I probably won't do a "Matai" pendant, but I was thinking about making him something that will standout at the local dog park. I just have to find a material that doesn't taste so yummy to dogs. el Stingray, thank you for checking out my stuff all the way from Norway. Seeksurf, thanks. I had fun doing the little Marq. My dog was very confused, he still doesn't know what a camera is. Surfintiki, I carved the shapes of the rongorongo with a 3/32 round burr, it was the smallest I had. Then I used a 00 paintbrush to lay some permanent India ink into the lines. I wasn't too worried about "overspray" since I had everything buffed and polished before I laid the ink. I figured a less porous surface would be less chance for the ink to find an unwanted home. What little ink found its way beyond the yard was easily taken care of with some 1000 grit paper.
