The hearts look look really good. You obviously aren't rusty. What is the green one?

Good to see you back! Very nice looking hearts. I really like the green 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

Is it soft and sparkly? Kinda looks like Fuschite.

I can’t visually understand how the girdle line is held even in the tight crux of the cab. If that makes sense what I’m trying to convey?
