When Im on the moon eating my AMC popcorn. Ill send down a donation.
Its not like i havent done it before but now my computer did away with uploading into days & just puts them in my big library with the folders. This is also a NFT deal where the picture files themselves can be a object to sell. Ill admit i was giving grief to our gracious helper elf, even as I would imagine shes up to her neck in alligators in her own swamp. My website never recovered from a change in server to Wordpress. There are new themes out if i took the time to go implement them. As a seller Im better off them coming to me saying we gotta have it than making up a price for the only one there is and saying who wants to barter? I got given another vehicle tonight. Parts truck #2. Im thinking i have it on my website somewhere lost in posts trying to catch up content.

Its in glycerin, but you can see there is a single major crack, not crazing. The body segment i have in a open bag essentially is dry & not crazing. Its Contra Luz over precious opal clear with a white core. Bottom of chin was above "opal layer to prevent whiskers from making. I guess, but who am I. Oh, I since learned that glycerin will craze some opals faster than others and turn hydrophane white also. Some cures are curses, but it delivers a slow dry compared to air.

That's really something, John. Does it have any color? How big is it? Inquiring minds, you know. :)

About the size of my thumb. Play of color is contra luz on the surface & the core is straight up color. broad flash & plume? The movie is going to be sold as a NFT later.
