Thank you, so good to get feedback, especially about my writing. I'll take photos of some of the tools I use for the next amber carving post, so you can see what I'm using.
I have a longstanding deep connection with trees, so amber also resonates with me. You're directly on point with this:
I take from it that the ancient amber is symbolic of the idea that these things we throw away stay around even in their discarded state.
Thanks for the wow's! It's always a wow to me if I can complete an amber carving without shattering it. I've only done that once and learned my lessons of approach to carving amber from it. 🤣
