So one goose egg is equal to about two large chicken eggs and that’s what I used here. The goose egg definitely gave me a lot more “canvas” to work with. Pysanky is a layering process, so that increased size gave me many more designs to keep track of, as […]

Eeeek! Von Helgor’s making a run for the house! How’d he get so close? I’m not sure we want to stick around for his enhancements? Who would dare change a mark on him? Are those sawed off horns on his forehead? I know, I know. Who is “mas macho” now? […]
So, do we even want to know what evil plots Hal is coming up with here after his initial layer of Halloween Orange Re-Pumpkin-ication coating? I’m sure it will probably just enhance the scary Halloween atmosphere around here. That’s his buddy Fred, behind him who might not be quite as […]
Oops! Sorry guys. Apparently Fred was having a private word (probably trash talking about Ernie floating around in the woods) with Hal while they were getting cosmetic updates and did not like getting interrupted for a photo-op before they’re completely gussied up. You know, they’re into the so-called natural finished […]
So look at Ernie kind of just floating in the fog there. Is he just trying to get into the eerie Halloween mood or does he actually think with his new updated paler than pale color scheme he’s just “blending” and we don’t see him out there. I guess that’s […]
It’s getting to be that time again. This heat will break and hallelujah, praise be, fall will be upon us and cool weather. Pumpkins are starting to pop up everywhere, and they’re just not those guys you harvest from the fields and bring for the extra heavy load weigh-in. It’s […]
So with marbling you’re floating your colors on top of your solution and then in this case, gently laying your paper on top of the design created and transferring the design to the paper. But why does this look like rippling 3-D fabric instead of the flat 2-D paper it […]
So actual old school weaving is always pretty fascinating. All the different threads and colors used to create a kind of textured kaleidoscope of design. We actually had a weaver in our neighborhood with a full scale loom. Neat stuff. Wouldn’t that be interesting to try and do with glass? […]
Wow, that Parkway is long, green, and winding. We haven’t even officially gotten to the Smokies yet. However, off the Blue Ridge Parkway the mountains in the distance do look Smokey and blue in various hues and tones. They’re not making it up . They really do look blue and […]
Goodbye Shenandoah Park and hello more of Virginia?? Wow, we got used to those rather shall we say petite Northeastern States and this Virginia state just keeps on going in comparison, but yes, we finally cracked the border and our now in North Carolina; final state on this side of […]
