I've been slowly workin through my stash of Kaolin lately. It's some really killer material but is mostly found in small cobbles. I think that's why the most common point type made from this stuff is Cahokias and the like. ;) It knaps like butter when heated correctly and comes in a wide variety of colors as you can see. It feels good to knock out some tiny little points from time to time. I get hung up on making big points all the time and forget how challinging these thin little points can be. Here's a couple pics. Thanks fer lookin :o
