Dragonfly, where are you?
As my thoughts return to silversmithing, I remembered that a friend of mine has a wonderful silver jewelry line here in Austin...I took bead classes from her years ago and its been cool seeing her business take off...Go see what Lisa Crowder is making today...!
The most magnificent dragonfly was hanging around our ladder yesterday...I was hoping that if he was perhaps not feeling well enough to continue his journey, he would expire on my ladder so that I may electroform him and keep him in his splendor...but I would never ever hurt a bug just to plate him in copper...so later in the day, I found Mr. Dragonfly had flown off to his next more interesting ladder...He was enormous and blue-green with these fantastic wings...I hope he has a successful journey and is not lunch for an opportunistic bird...with all the rain we've had, our flower pots are filled with water, so perhaps he'll return...
On a more 'back down to earth' thought, the cats have left throw up for me in my studio and I just stubbed my big toe...and so, Monday has begun...
The pumpkins all survived their first night in our yard...I was kinda wondering if they'd all be there, after last year's Halloween where we lost some of our pumpkins to the night theives...we haven't spent much time decorating for Halloween this year, a lot of stuff is still in boxes and we just haven't had the energy or desire to dig it out...but now that its cool out, i'm in the mood to decorate...and I've pulled out some more wild petunias to make room for new butterfly plants...I have a hard time pulling out perfectly nice purple flowers, so I only do a few at a time...they survived our freakishly hot summer, so I should reward them with some water, not ripping them out of the ground...
