Trying new shapes while being emotional about cave art, a cave lion now. Carved river pebble, I think I'll turn it into a bead.

“A challenge to both find and produce, faceted amber is difficult for cutters to work with due to amber's softness and consistency. As material heats from friction through the cutting process, it becomes gummy, making stones with a good polish rare.”

Experimenting with river pebbles - the shape of this one reminded me of horse's head, so. Carving it with my tiny 9 watt graver was an exercise in humility but you can't fight the need to make things. Tried to give it this rustic vibe of an amulet of sorts.
