TC's Fortuna ship made me think about a ship we have up on the wall, gathering dust, my husband's greatest treasure.
It was made in 1948 for his 1st birthday by the next door neighbor, who was Captain Smith, the Captain of Robert Louis Stephenson's (Treasure Island author) ship.
Don't know what kind of sailing ship it is, but hubby tells me these ships were commonly made by the sailors while out to sea, then they would go into port and exchange them for booze. He said there was a bar in San Diego that had a whole lot of them on display at one time. Wonder if it's still there?
Hubby said to tell you all that the ship was RED originally, before his evil stepmother antiqued it white. Now I'm wondering if I can get it back to its original finish and tighten up the lines myself.

As for art, here's a picture of the ornaments I'm making for the kids and grandkids. Boy, are they going to be surprised when it's all they're getting this year huh? Went to a ceramic painting place to do them and had a BALL!!!
I will not slobber....I will not slobber....I will not slobber....:cry:
Colorado, WOWWWW on the ornaments! I'm loving the ones with pea fowl feathers! :headbang2:
Here's a couple really bad pictures of a couple piece of artwork.
The first one is a 3D paper sculpture of the ComedyTragedy masks, with a quote from Shakespeare in Grey Gouache.
The second one is a piece about Whales, based on a song by Claudia Schmidt. The letterforms are no longer pretty, but stretched and crunched to fit in with the wave action around the whale.
Greeting cards....handmade, knit in miniature on needles smaller than toothpicks. Handmade paper, feathers. I usually calligraph personal messages on the inside.
