The gift of pastel pencils has now turned into an obsession. I went ahead and bought regular pastels to speed up things… I’ve watched videos… I’ve glanced at some library books. The pastels arrived Thursday and I began Saturday night. I picked a photo from my ipad… Powder River Pass. Honestly… this is the first…
Roll Call
Well, Victoria and the twins were here since last night… so this morning was quality time with the boys spending time with chickens for a bit… then it was off to the sledding hill. This chinook wind has cut the snow level around here tremendously, and our little hill was in slick and fast form. …
Rising
Spent most of my day preparing and hosting an Origami Owl Jewelry party. It was fun… not my typical thing to do! So… All I have is the almost full moon rising the other day…
Chanting
When you combine a split hose, water, and Wyoming winter, you get… There is a fine mist spraying into the center. Every texture of ice is portrayed. The melted glass look… Sugared crystalline grass… Feathered ice. And speaking of feathers… Upon my approach, I instantly saw it. Do you? On the right, an Indian medicine…
Wordless Wednesday – “English Shadow”
Oh, that English Shadow…

Attempts
The last two attempts… Pastel pencils… “Coming Through the Quakies” Charcoal… “The Crossing”
Beeswax Rocks (How to process combs into wax)
I ended up babysitting last night… and I knew I was supposed to… so why didn’t I post before??? I don’t know. But when I got home at 2:30 am… there was just NO WAY I was posting! I was even awake enough to read before going to bed… how strange is THAT? As an…

Workbench
Well, remember I told you I hauled my tools up to the garage from my studio? There was no where to put them! Argh! Long ago, I had Daniel cut some logs to be legs for a workbench and they still were in the garage. There was also the white countertop I thought I was…
