Seems most of the sculptures Im working on right now are smaller than a quarter.
Here is an example with this California Fire Agate bee in the works. Only his right wing is showing in this picture as size example. The wings still need to be attached, so it looks a bit like this still yet. Hopefully it will improve in time, and I wont snap a wing trying to put it all together. I think Im going to forward a few of the bigger projects I have in the works, and give my fingers a break.......hehe Have to love the challenge though right? -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Thanks Chris!! This guitar piece was the first cut (end) off of a piece of petrified wood, giving it the flat side. At first I started working it on the diamond wheels, but the deeper I made the neck, the harder it was to avoid the other wheel. So I kept going, but slightly turned the piece to continue on the neck. I would attempt to polish it out on the wheels, but Dan calls it "wheel abuse" or something like that. So it looks like im going to try to polish it out on the flex shaft dremel with the new polishing brushes Dan made me. I have been working on the dremel since 8 this morning testing things out.
Brushes and dremel mount work great!! Here is a piece I have been using to test things on. This was a test to see how well the brushes work for polishing. Here is a before and after prepolish pic of it. Big difference! Only problem is that Im going to have to rough up the center again to glue the Opal in. You sure can tell I have been working on guitar pick from that last picture. You should see the look on Dans face when my finger nail hits the diamond wheels....... Sounds like fingernails on a chalk board. Poor guy, I look over and he was twitching like he was eating a lemon. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
