DSC_0986_Something a little different
Inspired by the soggy weather, and the apparent popularity of mushroom-themed items at our local crafts market, I decided to try something a little different. The shape was accomplished by adding the stem to a tongue shape. Getting into the corners was a little tricky on Genie wheels (I think a Dremel or a Flex-shaft would be useful here), but it worked. The starburst jasper undercut slightly in the starbursts, which isn't something that I've seen previously. Could be the bald wheels creating extra drag, or the fact that I'm using a squirt bottle to keep the wheels wet.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased for a first attempt.
