been doin'...

Been doing the painting thing. Some are hits, some are misses. A dude just gets up and heads on down the road regardless. Inspiration: the key to the rhyme. Got a fresh batch of rocks in the tumbler. Mostly jaspers, a few agates. The sunstones and obsidians put a sore temptation my way, but they need to be tumbled strictly alone. No mineral mixation here. Ah, them jaspers! They coyly put out hints of the beauty only revealed by the polishing process. The winners! Rock tumbling is a good study of delayed gratification. Won't have an idea of the end product for maybe 10 days, whial a strictly proper polishing is around 21 days. And the clinking is 24/7.
