My Year Long Project

This is the beginning of this year's year long project.  It's Joyful World from the Snowflower Diaries.

Better Part Of Town

The better parts of town are fairly relative.  They still have their problems.  There is not a single block you can walk in this town without seeing huge piles of trash and "temporary" housing and incomplete construction.  This area is Talatona, where most of the oil people live.

My Personal Whiskey

Each of us got to blend our own whiskey from several 15 and 18 year old single malts.  Special!  It's a day I will never forget.

All Outlined

I've got the full outline of the owl done.  It's time to fill in the belly and do some smyrna stitches and then bead.

More Fences, More Poverty, More Irony

These photos are all variations on themes I've hit on before in this series of posts.  It's sad.

At The Works

 Of course we learned about the whole process of making whiskey and went through the factory and warehouse areas... they were interesting, too!  I especially loved some areas we weren't able to take photos, like the still pots.

Encolumning

It's time to work more on the columns.  There are giant gargoyles in the near future.
