Visitor

New Year - New Projects

I like to try something new, so I put aside my sea glass jewelry and miniature house projects and settled in to do some carving and birdhouse building. In our beautiful weather I work on our patio and enjoy the flowers and birds that visit our feeders. Just last week, on one of these beautiful days, a hawk came around to wish me well - or perhaps enjoy an easy lunch from the feeder. I succeeded in taking a photo of my visitor from afar and it didn't turn out very clear, but I was being careful not to scare the big bird off. If you notice there is a carved eagle sitting near the table. Maybe, the hawk was visiting the carving... (hawk is circled in pix)

I can argue with myself that I have too many crafts, but the diversity of my artwork allows me to express myself and stay interested. Maybe, there is a Muse in the shape of a hawk, traveling my neighborhood and dropped in on that beautiful day to give me some new ideas and inspiration. We'll just never know, will we? Oh by the way, the drawings on my carvings are original. Sometimes, I even surprise myself....
