Snippets

* My latest attempt at the barnacles theme... I'm thinking of calling it 'Barnacles and Sea Snail'. I like that the snail is just a little surprise and not too overstated, but still gives it some sense of reality that is different than the previous ones. I'm actually kinda geeked about it.

Can you see it??

There!

And close up...

* I was watching 'Stranger than Fiction' while I worked on the new piece Saturday night, and again I was struck by the genius and humanity of that movie. Seriously, how great.


And my favorite line of all: "Harold Crick lived his life."

* Spent time with Jess, Justin, Benjamin, and Philip Saturday afternoon... Philip slept on my shoulder for a while and he was too cute. All warm and snuggly... and after his bath smelled like wonderful baby.

* Sunday went to a friends in the afternoon to watch the Bronco's pull one out (somehow!) over the Chargers. Seriously, super game.

*For some reason, I've been having some bad headaches over the last few days. Methinks the weather has been a changing quite a bit.

* I'm debating setting up a website (or having someone do it for me) so that I can have a place where people can look to buy my work... I've had about 10 questions about that in the last week. My only issue is business issues about which I have no idea. Hmmm, things to consider.

* Favorite CD of the moment: Coldplay's 'Viva la Vida' some people can't stand it (overplayed) but I think the title song is amazing. And as a whole it's a great collection of new songs...

Methinks that the adorable snail must appear again on some other work - perhaps with some embossed leaves or some of the beautiful limpets that you've done before? He's much to cute to be seen only once.

Bob, have you tried etsy yet? That's where I sell my stuff - not that I've sold anything but it's a good place to list it and price it. And they do the money transactions for you. Ask me if you have any questions.

I literally thought the snail was going to crawl (do snails crawl, or slither, or what?) off my computer screen -- very life-like! See you soon!

ooh! Melike the snail. In fact, I think he would fit in wonderfully somewhere in my own house. You should start a site. I have people here who would like to see your work (and perhaps buy)! I'm drumming up business for Katie as well (hopefully)! And as always, great movie choice! And, I'm loving the new Coldplay as well. But, I'm a big fan of theirs anyway! Great work!

Maybe you could combine the snail and Stranger than Fiction and call the snail Harold...sort of a Where's Waldo? kind of thing. Seriously, I like your pick of a favorite line also. Superbly philosophical...
