That's really cool. What medium are you using?
I use all sorts but predominantly Prismacolor colour pencils. They're extremely vibrant and good for blending.

I'm going to guess the eagle was yours and the snail was @TheLavenderBadger's??@TheLavenderBadger has been experimenting with natural pigments and home-made paint brushes. Today we mixed up some tempera paint with egg yolks and earth pigments (colorful rocks ground into fine powder in a mortar and pestle) and did some painting with some of her twig paintbrushes. See if you can guess which ones are hers and which are mine!

Ohhh ok! CoolRocky, egg tempera doesn't keep. You just mix up enough for one painting session. Once it dries, it doesn't go bad.
Wow! Really nice Connor!Don't ask why we have stuff in front of our fireplace.
This took me 3 hours( way too long )

Thanks!Wow! Really nice Connor!
Well, if you don't like it there, replace it with a roaring fire. That's what's fun about art work!Don't ask why we have stuff in front of our fireplace.
Yah! Otherwise just take a photo!Well, if you don't like it there, replace it with a roaring fire. That's what's fun about art work!

WOW! Really cool!OK, here's my first attempt at a completely "primitive" arrow. The shaft is a red osier dogwood shoot from up in the canyon; feathers are wild turkey primaries from the Bighorn mountains. I carved the arrowhead from bison leg bone. The whole thing is held together with bison sinew, hide glue, and pine pitch glue, and painted with mineral pigments with egg yolk or hide glue for binder.
Bone arrowheads aren't legal for big game in Wyoming, and this shaft is a bit too bendy to shoot out of a heavy hunting bow anyway, but other than that, this is a completely functional arrow that would fly great out of a lighter-weight bow. It was fun to make and I'm very happy with it. I gave it as a gift to my friends that run the bison ranch.
