Outta water and low on time, time to call it a weekend The combination of polished and unpolished facets look really cool but I need as much polishing practice as I can get
Just kidding, I'll probably run out of water first and I really need to practice a thing called PATIENCE
Third set, which went in very fast, I'm glad I went to a higher grit, now it's time to polish, I might finish this half of the stone this weekend?
Second set were a piece of cake unless I've done something wrong, which isn't impossible!
Calling it a night here because I think I want to move to a finer grit before I go any farther. My goal is for the initial eight facets (there are eight there but half of them are just a few degrees off the ones I prioritized) to meet evenly at a point in the middle.
I prefer to have both hands available when comic mining but okay I guess
I'll just call it here, I'm going to work on the first four facets at the same time since they're not on the same plane as the original edges
#artfight post!!! I wrought vengeance upon @elleskinner.bsky.social by painting Cindermeowla!
Apparently five years is enough of a break from paying attention to wildfires that I've just downloaded Watch Duty and jesus christ what is happening up there
(here is my safety equipment to make sure I don't go blind and/or get silicosis) (also a piece of morganite I need to soak in acetone but I need a glass container for that and I have to source an appropriately sized one that doesn't currently have European honey in it)
It's the weekend, which means it's time to play with rocks! But before I break out the faceting machine, I'm gonna use my lil lapidary saw to cut this synthetic topaz in half
Me on Friday: I bet I can finish this topaz this weekend! Me today: C'mon at least let me get the girdle width established before the end of today please
ok ok finally got something to show for #artfight Lookler for Frurfle and Lyra for Chuby_Kyttens
I spent all last weekend doing chores so I could spend more of this weekend at the faceting machine but now it is breaktime so the cats can photosynthesize
To make me feel better, here is the list of books I got partway through and then abandoned; I don't usually drop this many books but it's been A Year so I've tried to go easy on myself
Here is my list of books I've read this year, I know this isn't a race but I feel bad about how short it is
