See that tiny swirl by the mechanical pencil lead? I think of it as my spiral goddess. A similar shot is in my Redbubble shop, we have a poster sized print over the bed. Always amazes me to see the poster and know how tiny it is. The crystals are often full of wee rainbows, fun to explore with the jewler's loupe. Like the sphere, it makes me happy in my hippie places. I put jelly bellies in it to nibble on them one at a time when I do the savor and enjoy kind of thing.
Labradorite is fun to show to people who aren't familiar with stones. Looks like a boring greenish agate type stone until you turn it just right, then their eyes pop open when the light hits just right. Heard folklore once that it was bits of petrified aurora borealis falling from the sky. Sounds about right.
Also some Moldavite, from a comet that hit the earth and therefore holds cosmic power. It is often fake and made with glass, but I know mine is real 'cause I'm totally enlightened.
@tippitiwichet I love the stones, (especially the fossils) but I like Fred the most. hello Fred! 🐢 s r awesome.
@vo1de He's from a Lin Welford book, she has several on painting on rocks, but I can't remember which.
@tippitiwichet Fred has stolen the show.
@AskTheDevil He does that. He lived on my desk at worked and ended up being rather charismatic.
@tippitiwichet @QueenOfEverything they are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. The sphere is my favorite.
Your entire collection is wonderful... I'm drawn to the sphere... amethyst is my birthstone...
but FRED STOLE MY 💚 🐢 💚
@QueenOfEverything @Gambit_1 Lol, thank you. I'll let him know. Also, my birthstone :).
@tippitiwichet I like moldavite. It feels like I should put it into a magic sword or amulet or something.
@AskTheDevil Both would be cool. Or a tiara.
@tippitiwichet That last pic looks more like a louse than a termite. Definitely don't trust my word on that. I'd consult an entomologist or proper paleontologist to be sure.
@tippitiwichet that is beautiful😍
@damselfly59 Thank you :). I have it on a mug, large photo print, and a poster, lol.
@tippitiwichet righteously! Fossils and crystals together...💜
Amber landscapes. I have about 12 termites in the piece, or impressions of where a termite was but decayed away as the amber hardened, like the last image.
