I’ve enjoyed looking at your creations. I make Steampunk Jewelry but enjoy the earth elements you use. Hope you can one day devote your time to the “work” you enjoy and are so good at.

Comment on Handmade Kites by Clemens Habicht by Daivid K. Crim

I thought they were really cool, and I wondered how hard/difficult these would be to teach to High School students to make. Because I am a artist/ art teacher? So I had the idea that kite design would be another good way to get students off their cell phones/etc, and back into the creative process, and not bore them!

I love this post. You said what I feel so how about that I would love a job in the Department of Luminescence too (it does feel a bit Harry Potter and magical even). Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Jen – love having you there at Clover and the tent setup really looked great. I especially loved the new display cabinet for the optician’s lenses – perfect! See you in a few weeks

I know I’m late to be passing this along, but as our pets are always in our hearts, I want to say how sorry I am about Dylan.

I love parakeets and grew up with them. I’ve had some taken too early, which haunts me. One drowned when I was a child and I’m still not over it.

But the worst loss was Dave. Dave lived so long. I bought him from a neighbor who bred parakeets in her garage when I was so young I was taking tap dancing lessons and riding a banana seat bike. Must have been about 12?

Anyway, the little fellow lasted all through High School, Undergraduate and into my first job. He was 16 when he died. He was a real trooper, with a love for life. He got tumors towards the end; he got them cut off and kept living.

He loved showers under the kitchen sink nozzle and trying for himself anything we ate, even thought he usually didn’t like it.

There will never be another parakeet like him for me. R.I.P. Dave and Dylan

It’s so difficult to find good drawings of parakeets.

Owls are everywhere, but parakeets, no. I think it’s harder to capture the spirit of parakeets (or maybe their energy is the problem, like you were saying!).

Thanks for this great drawing!

When I first saw your plate in the blog roll, I loved all the harvest colors and thought it was a Thanksgiving dish, I was overjoyed to find that it was mediterranean inspired. Really beautiful plate.
