Thank you!Woah, that’s gorgeous!
i think your horse is PERFECT, but i’m no expert lol. and i would KILL to draw that good!! @RobertaD1, what do you think?So what do you guys think? I sorta like it, but the body just looks meh in my opinion, and I don’t know what to do to fix it. The right front hoof looks awful, but it’ll be covered up by a dust cloud so I’m not worrying about that. Also does anyone know how I can keep him from fading into the background? Every horse I’ve drawn a background with just seems to kind of blur a little bit, and I want the lines to be crisper.
Without further ado, here he is.

I'm not a rock person, but I do know cutting some stones can be dangerous, don't forget to wear protective gear. The green stones look like Aventurine. Which can be toxic when cut.View attachment 3894110View attachment 3894111
Finally got to test out my cabochon station in my garage, and the test subjects were these three stones. Not sure what the green ones are, they were leftovers from a project I did a couple months ago. The purple is strombolite. Just discovered strombolite this year and I love it. Need to play around with getting good photographs though!
I did discover that a tile saw definitely doesn't cut it (lol) as a trim saw, even if you do switch the blade for a lapidary blade. Very unwieldy, rpm too high, and since the blade comes from the top rather than underneath, I don't feel safe getting as close as I need in order to get stones trimmed properly. So further cabbing is on hold until I can locate an actual trim saw. Hopefully not at new machine price. I can't afford another $400 on top of getting my back door replaced and finding a new tank (or two) for my snake(s).
My latch hook tapestry is still chugging along. It's so big you guys lol why do I do this to myself.
