A double rainbow halo around the moon... is a difficult thing to photograph with a cell phone... while shivering. But I tried.

Shifting gears back to chess making... Does the mottled black match the board well enough or should I try to adorn these or the board in some way, as I did with the white? I used a lot of concrete dye, more than I could get to dissolve, so they have a swirly marble look to them, and I love it. They don't match their color very well... but neither does the white set. I am leaning towards leaving them be, but I want this gift to be over the top since its already turning out so nice. Tonight, I'm sealing the white pieces and adding a layer of padding to the bottom of the board while I contemplate this. Then, I can seal the black pieces & board tomorrow and start adding felt to their bases (unless I'm adorning them). After that, all that's left is packaging and I think I have a good plan.

Archangel themed cribbage with inset concrete feathers and the black tourmaline that inspired this from the beginning. I'm ready to move on now...

Well, selling stuff over Nostr enabled me to order a new screen for my laptop 💜💜💜 I wasn't expecting the numbers to line up so well, but they did. Thank you! Now, I just have to wait for it to show up & figure out how to replace it. 😅 View quoted note →

My computer is broken. Anything I have been doing/was going to do, that requires more than my thumbs, is on hold until I can get this sorted out.
