Default [IBC] Rock Plantings on featherstone

Hi all-
BTW, thanks for the great replies on the bonsai in japanese characters-I was
able to finish my painting the way I wanted to! Great!

So, I found another use for these 50 cuttigns I have (no joke either)... I
bought apiece of feather stone (feather rock?) and used a nail, chisel, and
a dremel tool to carve out some planting spots, just waiting to figure out
which cuttings I want in it (slow process).

I have two questions really. #1 has anyone used the featherstone for rock
plantings? Any suggestions for planting/securing? I'll be using Portulacaria
cuttings, a few months old (the roots anyhow)... #2 I can't seem to find
more than one or two pics of rock plantings, anyone know of a good
book/website that has detailed pics of some?

And anyother hints, tips, advice, or stories on rock plantings owuld be
appreciated! it's fun carving out the rocks (although I keep managing to
make them look like faces, you know, two eye holes and a mouth... sigh..),
and it gives me a use for all these cuttings besides sticking them in pots
and waiting.....
