Gourds how I love thee

Ah the joy of doing Gourds. I had so much fun, I have other projects just waiting for my time. I made a new friend who is a wonderful grower of gourds of all shapes and sizes. After a few helpful tips in the right direction, I worked the gourd free hand with my Dremel and a small wood carving bit. At one stage I used a walnut stain that gave it a semi glossy finish and made the carving away stand out beautifully! I can't wait to get back to work.

Happy Fathers Day!

I haven't been able to post my newer work because it is just a little to big for my scanner, so off to have it done by the Pro's soon. I have also been working on a dress, I like where it's going, but I think I would like to try another variation of the idea. I have a short period of time to get the dress and a Kilt to match for a wedding in July. I have been trying to get a bit more whimsical with my art, and clothing designs as well.

Getting into the swing of these crazy summer hours. I just need to find my energy reserves to complete the list of projects on my desk.

Micro Macro Mini's

Hurray what fun the fantastic new camera at work, I then cropped out some fantastic abstracts. These are all 2.5 x 3.5, I think I will frame a set together, they really grab my eye! I am very happy with the camera and the cards I will do more randomly I think.

Hectic as always I have been sitting down every night and doing a card at the very least. Though I haven't been working on my swaps in a while. I need to bust a few out! We got our new camera that we have been pining away for. We are shooting the pictures for a wedding in July and needed to upgrade to digital. Our last wedding assignment went well though I wish I had a faster Me to go with the good old SLR's I was using and the camera body I was using had a light leak which caused a graying of everything. I was not happy, the bride was though! We are excited about the up coming challenge. Our Daughter Isabeau is going to be the flower girl! Her dress is fit for a bright orange princess! We will be taking along a babysitter which is very new to us, we never have a sitter besides the Sister in Law that is getting married. On to new and fun projects some artistic and some just fun, and more than a few necessary improvements to our habitat and surrounding areas. Now we will finally be supplementing our story with photographs of the cool cats involved!
