Title: A little'un
Post by: jonathan creason on October 07, 2010, 11:29:58 pm

This one started out as an obsidian flake with some funky thick spots.  Really had to slow down and think about my next move, which turned out to be a good thing.

This one might actually be thin enough to mount up and sling at a squirrel (which means it'll probably be lost forever pretty soon).

No, it's a new one from some black obsidian.  It was tough to get a decent pic on the computer's camera.
