rebu Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 After a month of needle work, finally finished. This cluster is 65x30cm and I love it, lots of work but I just enjoyed it so much that I am sad it is finished Nothing to work on now This was my first work on a fossil and even though quite scary, very rewarding. I am definitely not stopping here. Besides 29pc of shark vertebrae I managed to expose many other fish vertebrae and bone fragments but the highlit must be an Enchodus tooth. Thank you all for your advise and helpful info on this project. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This looks fantastic.
