Unfortunately not tumbled by me but the pictures were taken by my little sister. She's been doing nature photography during her studies to become a biologist. Some of her pictures were even published in journals. I couldn't be prouder of her! Thought I'd show off a few of her pictures.
Jasper: Kiwi
Aragonite, Blue
Quartz, Ice
Emerald
Fluorite
Jade, Black Lumerian

These are great pictures! She’s got skill and I see why you are proud. I really like how she placed them in woodsy style settings. Gives me some good ideas.

At the beginning she was stating how scared she was of posting her pictures. (she does a ton of nature photograph, drawings and paintings... which is a shame because she's so good!) I'll make another trend sometime with the paintings she makes on rock slabs.

the quartz in particular looks splendid and the photos really add charm to the stones.

Thanks Michiganpebbler... I can't believe in the beginning she was scared to show her art. Artists hehehe I've sent her a link to this forum page, hope she visits it soon! I'll add more of her pictures soon.

My Dad was a talented woodworker, and created so many beautiful pieces. We have a fall craft & art festival here called Appleumpkin and everyone kept telling him he should get a booth. Well, after a few seasons passed, he finally agreed. It was a smashing success as he sold out of most everything he felt ‘sellable’ lol and took over 2 dozen custom orders. I was so proud of him.

I've been trying to get her to sell prints and make pillows/blankets with her mineral/rock pictures to sell at craft fairs. She never wanted to sell any because she was scared her pictures weren't good enough! I took some of her art (with her permission) to a fair I attended last year, sold out. (prints, hand painted agate slabs, and a few drawings). She was pretty happy in the end, made more art for this holiday season!
