Cabochon



cabochon: highly polished convex gem

Hello all! So today's post is about cabochons (is that the right plural? I'm not sure.)When I saw this word on the Phrontistery, I had a total 'blast from the past.' When I was in elementary school, I loved gemstones, and I had a little pocket handbook about them that I read multiple times. I was such a nerd :)

I'm sorry, but I don't have a prompt. I'm writing this relatively early, but I had to get up at 6 am to 'practice for school.' So, I'm tired and don't have those creative juices flowing yet.

PS: I'm apologizing too much, aren't I? Oh well.

Hippocrepian

hippocrepian : horseshoe-shaped

Hello friends! So, today's post is about horseshoes. This is a photo of a horse made out of horseshoes. Isn't that awesome? I think this is out somewhere in the midwest, like in one of those states that begin with an 'i'. So, yeah. When I saw this, I kind of freaked out because it's so cool.

Prompt: What would you think if this horse came alive and walked past you on the street? Describe the scene. How would you feel? What would the general public reaction be? Would this horse make noise when it walked? What would it sound like? Could someone ride it?
