Things don't always go as planned
« on: May 10, 2010, 12:07:24 am »
Sometimes ya just gotta bite your tongue and adapt >:( I didn't want to >:( I wanted to throw it as far as I could!  The rock was too pretty for that though, so I fixed it. It'll never be the same but I reckon if I didn't show you the before picture, you'd never know any better.
 BTW, I dropped it on a concrete floor :(

 The others are some I made today also.

Yea, I do. It sure is hard to keep myself from trying though. :-[
  I broke BOTH pieces of that Jeff City today :( It was some nice rock.   What's that last pine tree made of? It's something that was in that bucket I got from you.
 Sailordad, would ya believe that I've actually made fewer pines trees lately than I have other types :o  I made an Agate Basin, a Kirk corner notched and a big lancelate blade while I was at the classic. Only one pine tree :o

I'm sure it's frustrating, but they still look fantastic! Great work. If it bothers you too bad, find a youngster to give it to and watch em smile.

I sure do like looking at the points you make!  Some of my more interesting creations came from what the rock gave me after a mistake!  Its snowing again today and as soon as I heal up a little I am going to make a handfull of Ishi hunting points to go on the tonkin hunting arrows Chris made for me!  Tell your son an old Indian said Hi!  a/ho Pokie
