Excellent job on those Robert. You're hooked now. Did you dop the stones or hold them. If you're holding them, be prepared to lose the edge of your fingernail on your index fingers(the edge closest to your thumbs)

thanks all, I haven't drawn blood yet but I do have a few burn marks on my fingers. I'm not dopping (may in the future) I like the feel of doing it by hand - don't know if that makes any sence or not. I did ten more today, taking me about 20-30 minutes each, sorry no pics, will try and take some when I get back home. I'm starting to fall in love with the picture jasper
