Snowflakes.

I'm off to school with Older Son, but first, look what I spent most of yesterday doing, when I wasn't on the phone with my mom discussing having to put King Pirate Dog Solomon The Brindled Whippet to sleep today:


The images are based upon two William Bentley snowflake photographs. The carving is very soothing and meditative, something that I need right now as my siblings and I prepare to say goodbye to a very old friend.

We just went through the same thing Katherine. Peace to you all. It's a wonderful thing you can do to aid the passing of a dear friend.

The carvings are wonderful. I can sympathize about the animal. So sad.

So sorry to hear about your family's loss. It's so sad to see an old friend go, but you don't want them to be in pain, either.

Wow, you carve? Those are amazing.

And I am very sorry about your dog.

I am so sorry about your loss. I went through the same thing this past August. I feel your pain.

Your carvings are very peaceful and beautiful.

Katherine, I am so sorry for your loss, it is such a difficult thing to do, even when you know it's really an act of kindness. Your stamps are just amazing. How I wish I had your artistic talents.
