Making a mess.

[witchscauldron]

I was playing with my knock-off Dremel tool earlier. Antler is a bitch to carve! Especially when you don't know what you're doing quite yet, and you're a little spastic controlling the damn tool. And, of course, my knock-off's chuck is very loose, and will not hold the bits in tight at all - I have to stop every 30 seconds, even at the lowest speed, and put the bit back into the chuck. *sigh* Very frustrating. Makes me want a real Dremel now.

I did manage to produce a few things I don't hate, or didn't end up breaking:

Antler Pendants

I'm trying to convince myself they're "organic-feeling", rather than just wonky crap. Ah well. Practice will improve things in time, I hope.

That one on the left is AWESOME. I would dare to call it 'organic' myself.

Are you wearing facial protection while you're carving these? (Yeah, I could have said a mask but 'facial protection' sounds naughtier.) If not, please do. That antler dust crap isn't good for your lungs. Don't make me come over there and spank you! :)

I'll keep breathing antler dust JUST so you come over here and spank me. Rrowr! :>

I don't have a mask, but I tied a hankerchief over my face instead. The dust IS narsty.
