[stratasfan]

Right in time for our birthday, a complete surprise package arrived . . . from @lionheart !

Really cute masks . . . . a Frozen mask! 🙂 I am excited about having this and definitely using it when I do my engraving! Super fun and super cute and super happy! 🙂

The pins were amazing, and we've not seen those 2021 Shorts pins . .. now I know I'm on the look-out for Mickey! Thanks ever so much for the amazing surprise!

Hi, Connie! I never mind someone asking something! I have a hand-held engraver and engrave on stone and metal, mostly. Have done it on wood, too. Mostly stone. Mostly started when I began making repro Hobbit stones like Kili has in the movie. Then I started making more Middle Earth-inspired stones. Now, I've done more than Middle Earth, and I even did a hand-sized rock that had a cartoon of Thornton from the British Mini-Series "North & South" on it for a friend! That was an undertaking!

Do some to list for sale, and then some for presents. I enjoy it, so it is as I feel like it. Sis and I always have Middle Earth themed ones on our website, and we sell a couple a year. 🙂 Not a hot seller, but fun when it happens! -grin-

Here is a labradorite stone Hobbit repro I did recently:

Here are some assorted small ME themed ones:

Here is a palm-sized one I did with a quote from the book "Fellowship of the Ring" and it says (in Elvish) "A star shines on the hour of our meeting"-

TySVM, for sharing your engraving story.

WOWZER...very nice. It takes a steady hand and lots of patience to do this.

Bravo' on the sales. Another testimony to how awesome the work is.

Hmm...I wonder, might some Disney inspired stone engraving be available?

It does take a steady hand . . . and is killer on the back and neck! -grin- But so fun! The patience is a so-so thing. I wouldn't class this as something super-long, but I suppose most people would probably think it takes a long time. Average Kili stone is 45-60 minutes. The cartoon of a man took hours. 5 or 6 I'm thinking. Can't remember.

Hey . . . I'm always open to Disney engraving! I've painted Disney stuff on rocks before! With engraving . . . it all depends on the design. If I can draw it on the rock, I can pretty much engrave it. Simplify the lines is the key. 🙂 Were you having thoughts of something in particular? 🙂
