Fink,
Just came back for another look at the ray....damn nice!  Anyway, here is a pic of the cord clasp I was talking about. These WILL NOT come undone. I made these on all of the pendants I sold in the 80's and 90's.

I finally finished my octopus today, thanks to a beautiful piece of pua shell from GMAN. Thanks GMAN! As usual, the pics don't pick up even a fraction of the deep and colorful finish, but I'm hoping to get a new camera someday. The color on him is much more golden than it looks here. He is going to be part one of a set, so stay tuned. 
Mahalo!

Finkdaddy,
Incredible work! Great mix of stylized design and realism! There's a quiet stealthy movement and grace to it! Bravo!
