Birdhouse Bob

A House for Jessica

My Granddaughter's miniature house is coming along nicely.

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....

Happy New Year

Wow, we are now about to enter 2010.... Such a great future ahead of us! Did I tell you I am into politics? I am and hope that I make a difference. I try hard to!!!

For the future - I will be working on a new miniature home for my Granddaughter. I look forward to sharing pictures and updates with you. I'm hoping that 2010 will be healthy and productive for you and yours. I KNOW I will make it a "new year".... Please leave a comment - that way, I will know that you visited.

Happy Holidays from Susan and Bob Weaver.

Rocks, Sea Glass - maybe jewelry

Although these designs are my first, I've found I enjoy working with Sea Glass. On our many trips to the sea shore, my wife and I have find various colors and sizes of sea glass. It's always amazing to find a new color or unusually shaped piece.
