A knockout ring from this week’s session of birdbath making. Starting at a size 7 (can go up as necessary) big and wide and glowing. The bowl is almost an inch and a half across and the colors are amazing. (sold)
And here is one of the birdbaths. I’m still working.
if you haven’t already. Call your local field office- this might be your party headquarters, or your candidate’s local group. There are so many things you can do. Lines are going to be long. People are going to be hot, cold, sunburned, frozen, hungry, tired, they are going to need placeholders while they pee, they [...]
Above, a brooch in progress and the re-incarnation of the hollow tree I want to live in, from the great classic book My Side Of The Mountain.
