Bone carving and bandaids.

I finished my first bone needle today! I started it yesterday and all together it took about 4 1/2 hours to make. I'm thinking it must go faster once you know what you're doing. Doesn't it? That's alot of work for one needle. But it does work! I'm thrilled!

Okay, okay, so it actually took four and a half hours and two bandaids.....

One tiny one for my left pointer finger when I caught it with the hack saw and a bigger one when I caught the end of my thumb with the exacto blade, oh yea, and a paper towel to stop the bleeding. Don't panic it's a small cut I just got a bad spot that's all. D**M it still smarts!

Word to the wise, wrap both thumbs with tape to protect them BEFORE you start carving.
