Those are going to be sweet, miket!

You can really see the orbs in the second one now.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Mike, I like the contrast of the clear and orange. Nice.

I hope so, Robin!

The fortifications are why I bought this stuff- those orbs are just a welcomed bonus!

Do you think that Agua Nueva is as hard as a Laguna Lace? It doesn't look like it would be...just curious...

Thanks my friend!

It's super hard material, except for the mossy areas. I'm a bit concerned about undercutting in the vibe but since I haven't worked any through polish yet I'll just have to wait and see.

I sure don't want to get rid of all the mossy areas!
