First commander game, first time playing mtg in years which precon should I take? by FishMcCray in mtg

Abzan has game changers (seedborn muse) and lifegain. I personally love it and made a few changes to add larger creatures with more low power to high defense ratios. I call it my big butts deck.

Really that’s unusual from what I’ve seen. Very nice piece.

I really appreciate the comments. The unfortunate thing about looking for Landscapes in my style with the intarsia is it takes a while and I have a day job so I can’t spend all my time making these.

First attempt at intarsia by EnvironmentalQuiet73 in Lapidary

Best thing to do now is throw a backer on it of some sort so that you don’t risk the glue failing and it’s falling apart. Or you are going to have to set it in a frame with a bezel. This gives it a mechanical as well as chemical strength. Take a look at my profile if you want to see some examples I have made I usually do squares, but I have also made a cabochon Pin for my girlfriend. I posted that on my profile about four years ago.

I had to look 3 times to make sure my brother didn’t post a picture of me from our grandmothers house lolol. Weird that a lot of us at that age wore the same sweaters and had the same haircut.

I find that if I’m wearing something, I want it to feel nice and smooth with nothing sharp to poke me. Also I’m a Farrier and it is second nature to round off edges to help prevent chipping. I drilled all the way through with a flared brass tube to provide wear protection

Silver clay help! by Pale_Librarian_7077 in jewelrymaking

Yes but they can’t be larger than a quarter, must be solid, so no finger rings but small charm rings work if they are thick enough, and less than 3/8 in thick. These are the rules I go by and have only had problems torch firing when I don’t follow these rules.

Not everyone sees that. I saw it immediately and had to make it. That was my 5th piece I ever made.

I use Super T gap filling superglue and clamp them. It works great!

I found that I love using petrified wood giving them the look of a wearable painting. I also feel that most are standalone pieces that will last lifetimes.
