After much procrastination, I've finally gotten around to uploading pics of my 2nd (& final) stone for this year. I've HAD to set a "2 new tombstone per year" limit, or all I'll have is a bunch of new tombstones for this year. These things are addictive... This stone is based on two stones from cemeteries in New England (design from one stone & inscription from another).

I broke out the Dremel & router attachment for this one, and I LOVE THEM! I highly recommend them if you have access.

Anyway, here's a pic, and any constructive criticism is most welcome! If the thumbnail is dinky or missing, here's a link to my album on Halloweengallery: http://www.halloweengallery.com/thumbnails.php?album=430 There are other pics of the stone in there, too.

Edited to hopefully fix broken photo link!

Arrrgh the links are dead, lol. I can only imagine these though, I've seen Gothikim's work before and I know it to be awesome.

Very very nice Gothikim! The detail is fantastic. Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

[Gothikim]

D'oh! The pics have indeed crapped out, but the link to my Halloweengallery folder is still good, & as of this moment, those pics are fine. I'll re-check the pic-posting code & see if that's the problem somehow.

Ah, technology!

I'd ask for a how-to, but I don't think that I would ever that kind of skill. Very nicely done!

Hmmm. I did take some pics along the way. Not ever teensy little step, but enough to get the main process across. I'll try to get them posted on my blog @ BlogCrypt over the next week, ten days. When I'm done, I'll bump this thread
