Farewell my sweet little friend...


Tonight is a sad night as we lost our kitty this afternoon.  She was 17 years old and had been ill for a couple weeks, so it wasn't entirely unexpected.
After 17 years, though, they are no longer a pet, they are a member of the family.  She showed up out of the desert and now she has returned.  She lived a full and amazing life...I will miss her very much...

Dear Kaia,
I am truly sorry for the loss of your sweet friend.
She is beautiful.
As you said in your phone message, you seem to be feeling better.
It's hard though, having that constant presence, and then not.
When my kitty died FE was her name, All black with one white spot. After she was gone I swear I would see something black out of the corner of my eye, I would look but, of course there was nothing there, but,I know she was
Take Care Kaia

So happy!!!

Finally completed "Earth Song", a carved and painted gourd done in the style of Pueblo pottery. This piece turned out better than I anticipated and I'm so excited! I took photos of the process so I will share with you here how I did it.




After cleaning the gourd and cutting the top off to create the look of pottery, I drew in the design...

Once I was satisfied with the drawing, I had to determine which parts I wanted to carve out.  Once this was decided it took me two days to complete the carving (not all day - 2 hours each day).


I probably spent at this point 2 or 3 days trying to visualize a color scheme. I loved how it was coming along and I didn't want to mess it up with the wrong colors. I finally chose earth tones and painted on the first color...

This was exciting - it was really starting to manifest a personality now...I was going to leave it basically with the natural gourd colors and others that saw it at this stage agreed but then I had a dream that night that…
