I haven't been very active here in months. I'm glad you all like the new pieces. Part of the problem is that I've been inspired to do bigger pieces, that take time and motivation to finish. The other problem has been that the Tung Oils that I use for colors have gone out of production. I found a new source for a closely related product, that I have yet to try. I have a show coming up in 3 weeks, where I display my wood. I guess I had better get busy. I'll try to post when the show is over.

Back to DA
Well, it is winter, and the Ren Fair Season is over. I am going to spend a bit of time replying to all of the messages that I have received since spring, and then I will hopefully get back to posting and making art.
That is my plan.
Fair Season
I am in the midst of my crazy summer hairstick commuting ritual. Every Friday I hop in my car and spend up to 8 hours driving to New York. Let me just say that the roads in Pennsylvania Suck!
So, the gist of my message is: I'm thinking of you, and of DA, but I am running around like a proverbial decapitated hen, just trying to catch up.
When the summer nutjob is over, I will be at the Maryland Renaissance Festival, my home show, and I will be showing and selling my carvings. Hopefully this will allow me the luxury of uploading new image to DA, 'cause I'm already taking the pics.
Love ya!

An intersting thing happened...
Today I needed to scan a $20 bill to use in a commission. But I discovered that my scanner will not scan money. Apparently there is some little program embedded into the software that prevents it.
I just hope that the next time Microsoft reports on my computer contents (and we all know that every little thing we install now has spyware in it) I don't get put on some FBI Watch List.
Honestly, Officer, I was just trying to draw a logo!
Bye!

A Theory
For may years the description of a famous artifact of the Celts has bothered me deeply. The item, commonly called the "Petrie Crown" (lower right hand of page http://www.timescapes.org.uk/pages/content.asp?res=1&id=%20158%20) is listed as having no providence. All that is really known about it seems to be that one George Petrie found it, at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20 centuries, and described it as a crown, and that it originally had scraps of leather attached to the metal.
I do not think it is a crown. I have a completely different theory.
Admittedly, there are objects which do appear to be headgear, and they do have hor

I live in the UK and up till COVID hit would regularly go to arts and crafts shows. Just wanted to say that if I see anything relating to the tung oils, I’ll send you a message if you like? Support a fellow artist 👍🌸
