Really nice on download.
Are those venom drops on the tips?
This would make a great avatar.
Well done.

Very Cool! Have you tried lighting from below? Maybe masking all but where the molted exoskeleton sits on a sheet of glass? I used to light etched/sand carved glass that way. Might be interesting.
P.S. Lost my micro-bumblebee subject. http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-302055-1.html A mouse snuck in & ate it. My dog got the mouse. The circle of life.

thank you Albugshutterbug, I will look under the microscope and see (not that I would recognize such). Time to shed my old skin and try these fangs on. (I have always admired someone else's fang avatar and had to try the same theme!

I will try this down below lighting. You must share some of these etched sand images. It sounds very cool. One of my dogs got a squirrel once, but never a mouse! Sounds like your dog knew it was messing with your stuff.

here is lit from beneath. One thing I like very much about this method, is that if I choose, I can block light by simply laying something on the sheet of glass that the object rests on. I might have to attempt this style with amber and see what happens.
