More progress on that weird vine-covered post wood carving project…

It is coming together. I admit it was a hot mess for a while, but I have done some more painting on one side. And then I did some outlining. And when I do this to all four sides, and … Continue reading

And speaking about rock carving and painting, and crack squirrels… and love…

You can be all-art-side-of-the brain and have crack squirrels living in your head, or you can have a life… but you can’t have it both ways…

So, this is what has been happening on my crack squirrel-infested podcast lately…

I did an episode that is a parody of the Bond films, only the hero is older, fatter, and an American surfer dude… We imagined what would happen if tRump supporters seceded from the United States and started their own … Continue reading

This week in my life… fone fotos… part 1…

I made a bear! My younger daughter Mollie got me a sandstone carving kit for Christmas. I finally got around to doing it. You get a sandstone bear just cut in the outline. And a file, some little pieces of … Continue reading
