Here are my latest creations. The large blade in the first pic came out kinda crude. It's made out of silver sheen obsidian. This material is hard to work. The piece in the second pic came out really good. It's made out of pumpkin obsidian.

Thanks for looking!

What is life, without rocks?

I don't understand how you can get those little notches in there without breaking the rest of it. That takes some kind of talent!
