Branding 2013
I’ve given you photos throughout the years… but nothing conveys the action of a branding like a movie. I held my camera next to the branding iron, so the perspective is a bit off… but I hope you find this interesting. **** Q&A time again… post your polite questions in the comment section… and I’ll…
Bee Adventurous – Part Three
OK, this is rather long… but I did edit it quite a bit! If you can’t see it here for some reason, go to vimeo dot com, and search for Carol Greet. It’ll pull up all my videos for your Friday night entertainment!
Bee Adventurous – Part Two
My top bar hive is an unusual style. Most bee hives today are the Langstroth hive, boxes on boxes that you’ve probably seen along the roadway. They are perfect for producing a great quantity of honey while pollinating large acreages. I didn’t need that. I wanted a small amount of honey for myself, maybe some…
Bee Adventurous – Part One
Forgive any mistakes, you professionals… this is the first time I’ve handled bees!
Minute Movie: “Her First Minutes”
This Minute Movie is taken probably two minutes after the calf hit the ground… although I edited it so you wouldn’t see my jerky video as I walked around her to get a better perspective, this really was just the first few minutes of our newest 051! Unbelievably, the calf does get dry with just…
Minute Movie: The Frost Leaving
Today was alternately a blizzard, a hurricane, and a peaceful grey day… take your pick, they all happened! It was a day in March! This video was taken yesterday… when the frost was leaving the ground and the runoff water was beginning to soak in. I suppose that may be a new thought for some…
Pysanky 2013
I should have just loaded the photos… but, no… Carol had to make a slide presentation! Enjoy Pysanky 2013!
Pysanky – General Tips
So I’ve teased you a bit about pysanky… let’s get going on this! Here’s a few general tips. I’ve been doing this for quite a while… 14 years? 15? 13? But come this time of year, and I still search google and youtube and vimeo and pinterest and see what I can find. Lately, I’ve…
Oh, Else
Thank you all. As the emotions swirl, and I struggle between tears and bouts of ragged coughing, her presence lingers strongly. My Golden Girl. My Sweetheart. Elsa Dear. I roam this blog, in hunt for entries mentioning her name. Her photos appear just as softly as she moved along my side. But best of all,…
Buffalo Grass
Here we go… You didn’t know you were missing this, but I had to wait for my music to get here! Here ’tis! **** Please remember, it’s Q & A time! Put your question in the comment section, and I’ll answer them on Tuesday. **** February 9, 2012 Heartbeat February 9, 2011 Wordless Wednesday –…
How To Needle Felt a Bird
All righty then! You’ve had extra time to gather your supplies… let’s create a bird! I want my birds lightweight, so I’m not making them solid like if I was using hot water to felt the wool. I’m just layering light roving… creating a close approximation to a bird’s body… then adding some details. The…
