Well....here's round 1.
Interesting! I'm no Pearlie, but they're almost what I've been envisioning. So far I have two sizes, but I experimented with trimming to create a third. I think I need to standardize the stripe on the tip somehow, or at least make it a little smaller. Painting with this stuff is harder than I thought! The colors, on the other hand, are perfect. I deliberately tried to vary the brown tones a little, adding more pink to some and more yellow to others.
