Decorated Gingers 2022

 

The kids are 13 and 16 now, but still allow me to have the smile of them making the jumbo gingers. This is year 12 or so.  Plenty of candy to choose from, but they went for a different look. Growing up, or a just ascetics choice for this year?  :) 

Rainy Day : Bunny in a Pipe, Color on a Tree, and a Mole

 

Beach Elephant Seals, Elk, and more

Started pretty, and ended with a fire (legal!) under the starry sky, silhouetted with redwood trees. 

 

Birds in a tree

 A fine vista. Birds and the Marin Civic Center. 

Wrapping Day 2022

 

One of my absolute favorite events -- lots of toys, organized, with list of kids and what they want. 

Elf Cards: Holiday S-ELFie

 

Working on some elements for holiday cards this year. Not the fastest, but, almost finished. Ended up hand stitching many elements because more gentle on the eye. Yes, they are supposed to look goofy.

Finally back at it

 

Out for about 10 days, but back now. 

Ceramic Sculpture

Part of it fell in the kiln. Worked on fixing it, and added some leather for a different texture. I was practicing making doughnuts (out of clay on the wheel). So nice for people to make YouTubes to help people see and learn.
