Junkie,   Tie the first one on a stick (arrow) and kill yourself a deer. Take the heart and have it wrapped and put it on a neckless and give it to your honney, She'll love it.  Good work. Sleddman

I made this one for my wife last year from a purty little piece of coral.

Hey JJ, is that obsidian or glass?  Either way, nice work.  If you're like me, the heart is the love offering to the wife when she asks,

"What are you doing out there?"  >:(

A little slight of hand as you put down the point and hold up the heart.   

"Look what I made for you dear".  ;D

thanks guys ;D  I have to admit, the heart was not the original plan, I had a nice blade going, about 3" long, over a inch wide, then it broke in half >:( my wife came over to see what the tantrum was about, and said " thats OK you can still make something out of the tip", so I made the heart for her putting up with me :D they are made out of rainbow obsidian.
