Diamond in the rough

[Penny O'Rorke]

Nancy, it looks very good indeed! I've been trying to make a ruby and it's nowhere near as good as yours.

Thank you all for all the compliments.

Beautifully done, I like the composition. My wife wood love that.

Great work, I think it looks very realistic.

Thank you Ontos and Bruce.

I added a bit of feathering to each section as I made it. Sometimes when I look at the picture I posted, it looks a bit blurry to me but if I don't, then it looks too 'clean'. Kind of a 'catch 22'.
