Hi Folks,
here is a little close up how i go for my pendants
first steps are the rough carving
following steps is to sand the surface and apply wood stain and shellac
next step is to carve the the ornaments
and last step is to put in the mother of pearl eyes and another layer of shellac.Boing!

Cut your image in 2 equal halves and make each half 8.89 inches at 72dpi. Post them side by side with no gap between the photos and it will appear this size. (blew up your small photo)
