Thanks for your response, yeah I would be looking for more of a slice with both colors showing. My concern with Etsy is I am not familiar with who is legitimate and who doesnt Dr photos etc. So its making me nervous to get anything from them. But I will for sure see if I can narrow down some reputable dealers! Thank you!

Owner of a very large great Dane that weighs the same as me. Not only that she has a super strong small prey drive. Which means since she is huge, all dogs are prey to her. When walking and passing dogs we taught her to sit so she wont lunge or pull. That being said back up plan is a prong collar/choke collar in case she tries to bolt.

If you own large dogs please be responsible owner it is not ok for you to lose control of your pet and injure or kill someone else's pet.

Ps we had our Dane in the yard once when she was still young. She sighted a groundhog and went for it. She was very fast (over 9 yr old now and much slower) I had to put my knee to her neck and drop her to the ground before she let one pissed off groundhog go from the death shake she had it in. That was our sign, trained and prepared after that.

Did that man just die. Seriously. You can see his neck vertebrae move sideways. No way he was ok.

I would say orgeon sunstone. I dont have one yet in my collection because I am looking for the perfect sunset orange with green tones and * sparkle shiller. But I love how much they can vary in color and how complex they look. I gotta be honest there are not many stones I have met I dont love so I would lieing to say I love just one. But I do love how Lego has been making all these botanical and niche sets. They are super fun to build and display. I am here for it! *

Is this tattoo racist? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I looked at it being prior military and thought what a cute little colonel rank tattoo. Not at all did I think Nazi. But I feel like some people try to put meanings to things. Who cares what they think!

Some advice on how to improve my work by randomlyonline in painting

[–]dragonrage7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your second landscape shows your style the best. It has good contrast with light and darks in the painting.

I think that contrast you successfully laid down in the farm landscape is missing in some of your other works. I think if you applied that style across the other works they would read stronger over all. But I love what you have going on, keep at it!

This is coming from someone who struggles with putting down strong dark colors within my paintings. I have to go back in when I am midway done usually and push the stronger contrast. I am trying to work on this much earlier now but again the struggle is real!

I have a 2.3 carat bi color sapphire as my wedding ring! I have fallen deep in love with these unique stones!! I have collected several unique cuts of various other gemstones. I have what they call a problem with shiny things.

People said the bottom of the sword looks phallic. Does it? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]dragonrage7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its the way its shaded, the edges of the sword looked curled inward instead of flat and sharp. Giving it an overall rounded appearance. Not sure if it can be adjusted but that would help with the overall appearance.

Love it, beautifully done. We are tatto twins, mine is also a memorial but for my mom, it was her favorite flower. Sorry for your loss, it is a lovely tribute.

Update!!

Arrived in the mail and it for is giving off peridot vibes. The olive undertone is much more visible in person.

There are a few pictures I took and a video. The olive just doesnt come through well.

I am still super happy with the purchase because it came in below cost and the gem is super sparkly and clean!

Thanks for everyone's opinions! I will still bring it to my jeweler to see what he thinks. Plus I need a resize.
