[So Far, So Good]

I swear there has got to be one really round bird in my yard or several of them because that feeder gets emptied in no time flat!

[Get Your Blog Post Featured]

Please don't ever feature one of mine if I ever write something relevant. I prefer to be unobtrusive, not call any attention to myself.

I almost feel like this is an admonishment for my loosely connected to leatherwork blog posts. I will try to keep all of these excellent guidelines in mind for any blog posts I might make in the future. Thanks for posting them. Another LW member and I just had a discussion about what to put here and you have answered.

[Work On Projects Is Started]

The blogs hopefully don't have to be solely leather related. Well I figure best that I work leather, the blog is about me therefore the blog post is leather related.

I haven't seen a jay in such a long time. I miss them. We have mainly the sparrows, grackles, starlings, doves and gila woodpeckers. A few years back I was taking the trash out and I startled a roadrunner out in the alley. It probably was the last one I will see in the city but never say never. Since the weather here is so mild I think the birds come here to winter or stop over on their way further south. Birds are another item I won't attempt to tool. I need to take my sketch book to the wash and practice drawing the wildlife I see there. Since the college kids hang around in that area some of the wildlife is really goofy.

[Very Little Leather Work Don In January]

I have no excuse for my lack of progress. The weather is good, my health is good, nothing to deter me. I even have a dedicated room and table to do create, but...

I have never been able to do faces or people. The Geronimo portrait I did came out looking like Jamie Farr after a bee sting to the face and he is going into anaphlatic shock! I'll stick to the non animal stamping and tooling from now on thanks. I once was told if you can't draw it you can't tool it.
