Weird Pics, funny posts or something new?

Yay, my 1000th post.  I have never been with anything like this for this long.  This site and everyone here are so awesome.  This was my idea of a party picture, lol.

Awesome Saltypaws.

TollingBells - I kinda cheated, using the collector thingy (the one that looks like a butterfly that you get from happiness points). That's the only way I've ever done it. I don't know how people find them without it.

I use that alot too.  What I used to do before I got the collection helper, was just made sure their needs where all the way up and start hunting.  I don't have near that many though, those pics are quite impressive.

Pallyndrome, what are the big, shiny gold blobs?

Congrats salty!  Now it is official, you're too gabby! 

[Saltypaws]

Haha bshag.  Thanks though, I guess I am gabby. lol

<blush> I'm flattered by the comments on one of my cellars. However, the question was Skull Cut Gems, was it not?  Here they are, with their values ...


Left to Right, starting with the top row ...
Septarian - Alabaster - Soulpeace - Lapis - Pink Diamond - Diamond - Tiberium - Amethyst - Sapphire - Emerald - Ruby - Citrine
17.830 - 1,640 - 41,110 - 660 - 20,520 - 5,300 - 5,800 - 370 - 1,390 - 650 - 420 - 730
Bottom Row ...
Geode - Soulpeace - Septarian - Luminorious - Soulpeace - Rainbow - Turquoise - Tanzanite - Smoky Quartz - Topaz - Jade - Luminorious
5.920 - 37,640 - 15,810 - 8,,640 - 10,390 - 13,040 - 950 - 2,020 - 490 - 440 - 3,740 - 6,620

The Geode and Septarian skulls came from the usual process: 5 different cuts.  So we used Split and Heart cuts, then filled the rest of the 5 first spaces with Split cuts.  Then used the last 3 spaces on the Carter XL for the other 3 different cuts, and using 3 different gems to make sure the Geode/Septarian was in the majority.  I think what we used affected the final Skull colour.

Hope that helps/encourages?

That is a beautiful room, slingsby! I'm awed! 

Thank you - how kind!   <blush>

I try to build a separate cellar room for each collection [France, Egypt and China] and put all the stuff on display cases.  I frequently build a second, deeper, cellar for the Sarcophagus collection and odd storage boxes for gems [cut and uncut], Time Machine and that sort of thing.  Depends on the size of the lot, of course.

More antics with densely-populated garden gnomes.

"How does he talk me into these things? Now I'm a parade float!"

Whoops.

Lol, I really hate these Gnomes now, I keep finding ones I never knew or remember, I cleared out my known ones into the inventory and then I saw one on the garden and I was so shocked I adjusted the brightness on my screen!

...Llama, I'm a teenager, so don't take offense...But that just looks dirty to me.

[TollingBells]

Completely wrong. He's insulting her!

A: "Now I'll teach you about capitalism."
B: "Capitol?" "Caption?" "Captain?" ...
A: "If you don't pay attention you'll have to beg for your job when you're my age!"

But he owns everything...She'll never have to beg in her life. Actually, now that I think about it, that may be the icon for begging your boss for a promotion... Which could go either way.

"Clean your room, or you'll get stuck as a roadie for the rest of your life!"
"-Sniffle- Yes daddy..."

Then perhaps you'd enjoy this one...

I should start compiling a book of them: Gnomes I have gnown.

[pallyndrome]

LlamaMama - I think the gold blobs must be the lights - the fire type ones you get with world adventures. Or do you mean the ones in the top left hand corner? Those are pieces of sarcophagus.

Cool gnome pictures. Gnown - i love it
