Spring Break in Port A


Spring break hasn't affected us much here...outside of a little more traffic noise.
The beach gets crowded late morning and afternoon, but that's not when I go down there
anyway. Of course there were a few "incidents" on the news. The only thing I notice was the beachcombing is not as good for some reason, it may be the tide schedule, don't know. But haven't picked up much lately. Am going to make some cards using coquina shells later today. Will post. Oh...friend Debbe sent us a real cute musical St. Pat's Day card...AmberJo hates it. It started playing and she attached herself to my leg! Whenever I open it, she's in attack mode, even from a sound sleep. It plays bagpipe music. roflmbo!

  1. Hey Amigo,

    Hope this works this time. Love your new blog and all your beautiful and inspiring art. LOL, poor AmberJo. Guess she's not Irish, even though she does do a mean Irish Jig with the string beans. You just have to post a pic on here of that.

  2. Hehe, forgot about the beans...although today she was two-stepping with a teensie piece of lettuce that fell off the counter... it would be great to catch her in mid-air.
    I finally figured out how to set comment
    feature, glad to see it worked for you :-)

Pit Beads

"Art in My Garbage" is a favorite theme I deamed up.
All that "stuff" in the trash-bin surely has another life as an "art supply" - Yesterday the discovery was date pits ;-D
They scrub up well, have a nice rustic, "woody" look and make great beads when drilled with a fine dremel bit. Have also just discovered "sea beans", along with the lovely shells on the Texas beaches. The teeniest bit of baby oil shines them up nice. Avocados, apple seeds, prune pits, etc. can all be used as well. http://www.beachbeans.com/bean_descriptions.html
