The good thing about an early flight west is that i don't spend the full day traveling. The not so good thing about it is Oh-my-gawd-it's-early (thank you Robin Williams).
Yesterday was for planning and working on something i brought with me for a future Poppet Planet sale.
Today was for photography, in and out of the water. It is hot here. The heat is oppressive, reminding me of a week ago in Frederick where it went just over 100 but the humidity was fairly high. Here it's not so humid, but the heat still surrounds you, reminding you where you are. Um, inside a giant convection oven i think.
i saw a hummingbird get a snack at the feeder on Lisa's back porch. Then it landed on a nearby hanging plant. And it stayed there. Long minutes. i mean, more than 5 minutes. i had time to get my camera and take photos, that's how long that bird stayed on that plant.
Maybe it was so hot the bird didn't want to spend the energy to fly. i told Lisa it was too hot for a hummer. LOL. i think it wasn't even noon yet, here's how hot it was:
Lisa prepped some poppets for underwater photography, and in the afternoon we drove to Ben's place, with a quick detour to Tatooine to take some photos of me trying not to faint in the heat, LOL.
We took underwater photos with Lisa's digital camera inside a waterproof bag i brought with me, and also an underwater film camera of Lisa's. The digital photos, which are super cool, are here on Lisa's blog, i highly recommend you check them out :-D
Tomorrow is for art. Tuesday is more art. And more photography.
Wednesday is for home. |

Poppet Planet has kicked off its Summer Solstice Sale and goodies abound this time. Alice in Wonderland costumed Poppets, Poppets acting out A Midsummer Night's Dream, Little Red and Little Blue Poppets and more.
One of the offerings is a stunning handmade Poppet puppet, which Lisa captured on video....
Also, an original sculpture i've been working on this spring is making its debut: "Ocean's Amethyst"
And later today, i'll be putting some "patriotic ponies" up on ebay, hehe. |

| Poppets on Video |
[Jun. 5th, 2007|01:34 am] |
In case you haven't seen this on Lisa Snellings-Clark's blog, she shot some video of diving for poppets, which i then set to a very cool Hopeful Machines song. Yes, poppets are preparing to take over YouTube! There will be a "night" version, as soon as i've had some sleep and more time to play with the very cool night footage Lisa sent me...... Enjoy!
Here is the nighttime version, hot off the (You)Tube :-D |

Over the past year and a half, i have been going back to fine art. Starting with a sculpture i created in early 2005 while visiting Lisa Snellings-Clark, i've been doing OOAK (one-of-a-kind) painting treatments for each casting. Then i started repainting my Breyer horses for fun, and to explore techniques and designs.
A few weeks ago i got a wild hare idea in my brain to repaint Breyer Stablemate foals in holiday-themed designs and sell them on eBay. "Snowflake d'Oro" is one of three that i have up so far. There will be more as i finish them up.
As soon as i can, i will be launching Ravynflight Studios, a fine art section of my web site, with photos of the sculpture and painting work i've been doing. |

i love fireworks. There's something about their colors, shapes, movements and even noises that i love to watch, again and again. After watching a documentary on fireworks several years back, i contemplated taking that up as a "second career", heh. i've always been a bit of a pyro.....
( But, i'm getting ahead of myself. ) |
