Beautiful carving. I had no idea, there was this much detail on stones in that part of the world.

I was so scared, we will not be able to produce any new Khachkar. Thank you, you gave me hope back.

it's odd that she's relying on the safety squint when her boss uses goggles. normally it's the old craftsmen who don't use safety equipment.

[@Spicy_Riker]

The best Witcher 3 DLC or was it?

[@krii3]

Safety glasses are considered as a no no,i guess.

[@Ass_of_Amalek]

the boss is using them, weird that she isn't.

Lots of things are ordinary until a lass does it.
