Description

Well I have to leave, for a while at least. If you want to read more about that,you can read about it in the forum.Well about this last pic for now at least. I took this today in the back yard. I actually made both of these,the sword and the stone. The sword is not in the stone,just behind it so it looks like its in it. I spent about 6 months hand forging that sword, my first and only one I ever made. I had always wanted to know if I could do it,and so I tried. The stone was made with a special mix of cement and some peat moss and other things. Had made a few into planters as well. This one was really a bunch of plastic bags tied up in some wire,and then the mixture spread over them. Hope you enjoy.

incredible artistry all the way around...in the photo, in the sword, and in the stone....you must have incredible patience to spend 6 months making that sword!! it's beautiful, and so is this image. you are good at doing so many things, and maybe you can use this time to learn something new...something that will help you during these trying times. You're a strong, courageous person. don't forget that. will say prayers for you and hope you see posting again when and if the time is right for you! take care. hugz

Exactly like Sheila says! Take your time! And have faith! Once you look back you'll see it all in different perspective but now it's all dark and heavy, with lots of uncertainties. Take care! hugs
