My wife and I are birders of sorts. She has photographed over 500 species in US, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, and Costa Rica. We are curious if this is a popular past time in Australia. Attached is Elaine with a tame Harris Hawk at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Area Reed and Elaine

I treated myself to an embroidery machine this week and have been fiddling around experimenting. What I have done so far has amazed me but is far from perfect, I will keep practicing.

This is a medium in which I am experimenting. Besides being a painting, it is also bringing the subject out of the background (ocean). The small seafood café is made from teak and boats and birds are all had made . It gives the realism a different aspect. The frame is handmade and carved. I sold this one ve...

I have nearly finished this quilt for our caravan. It is machine pieced and hand quilted. Unfortunately I made a mistake in the quilting along one border and, although you can't see it, I know it is there so out it comes to be redone.
