I'll probably have to do a bloopers post, because I think it would be encouraging to other artisans out there- things don't always work out as we hope!

I finally did a series of woodcut prints of how I remember those ravens, they came out very well. We have fish crows here, unique, small cousins of ravens, but they hate cameras, too!

The faucaria looks like F. felina ssp tuberculosa, or F. tuberculosa, as it is mostly known. Glad you got through it in 1 piece!
