Some days it just ain't worth getting out of bed! Fourteen hours into your latest project and the end is in sight, all you need to do is a bit more polishing and then done. Except for one small detail.
This was my project for "show and tell" at Scott's this coming weekend. More than half way into the carving I noticed the shell's color layer was way too thin and had some cracks internally. The main carving was close to being finished but I was not happy with the shell material at all. I decided to keep going with the intent of redoing the same subject later on a better shell, but i knew that I couldn't finish it in time. Oh well, now I have an example of what can go wrong!
