Betty -- now that's an idea. I like the idea of resin. Clear hands
with clear water running over them would be interesting, as long as I
could hide the fountain pieces somehow. Hmmm... I'll have to think
about that.
Ceramic is a really good idea, too, although I don't currently have
access to a kiln, and a lot of area schools' kilns have been removed.
*scowl!*
Thanks!
