He was 30" tall, but a bit taller now that he is "fin-ed out"  He may or may not be a keeper, just not that kinda market around these parts(Market:people willing to pay a high cost) would like to recoup costs so I can afford to make more...but who knows.... |

Wow! How cool is that! I love seahorses. We went to the seahorse exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium....it was breathtaking. Maybe post it on Bay Area Craigs's List or similar?

So far I have about 3 days(6hr) into it. Been enjoying it now that I am not "blocked"<had to go buy that glass for it as I just couldn't get moving on it till I did! Cuz I didn't bother to grind the glass on the last stages, my fingers are all cut!ha! But the small stuff was nipped then tumbled in my rock tumbler, do any of you use a rock tumbler?

Jane, maybe you could describe the process of attaching the wedi board. Did you glue it to the existing wing structure, and what kind of glue did you use? I've only read about wedi board (we're building a house) but never seen it. Is it flexible? How do you make it rigid enough to not pop off your little tiles? Thanks..
