I saw some intarsia pieces with silver inserts and really wanted to make some. Immediately realized I should probably practice on . . . well . . . not silver first. It took me way too long to dig through my scraps and find something tolerable. Lots left to learn, but I was glad I pulled it off (sort of.) Sodalite scrap on the back, script stone and mystery-dollar-bin rock on the front.

Nice job on your first one!

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
