These are the first two carvings I ever carved, both are the size of large plums and are carved from Tagua Nut also known as Vegetable Ivory, it's a great material to carve, pretty hard, though a little brittle. The mouse was also my first attempt at carving a Netsuke.

Huh, anyway here's a translation:
"I did not believe it but she really works! East Envia message to 10 people and despues enters http://www.quien-teama.ar.gs and watches the name of the person whom it loves to you!"
Nice work, Rand! I've been wanting to give that tagua stuff a try...
You can some pretty nice results with the nut, though when working with it it can be a little brittle.
I'm working on an intro guide at the moment on how I work with the stuff, should be up pretty soon.
