I'm a man not a Disco Ball.

"WOW" is all I have to say to the most delicious tea that ever slipped down me neck.
And uh, "Holy Crap, thats awsome.", when I take a second sip.
Mighty leaf, you are a teamaking god among puny Tetly drinking men (and womyn if we are to be corect), A black sheep with a higher than average I.Q than the rest of the nondescript herd. You are a painter who will only have his most amazing work appreciated when he is dead...wait no thats a bad metaphor, because your tea is awsome NOW!
The intriguing taste of whole leaf rooibos, mixed with the comforting aroma of mint, with just a hint of smooth dark chocolate, make this tea one I won't soon forget.



A silk tea bag makes this expierience all the more amazing.


My Corner "G" and The "Rub", Mug.



Tea! Thanks Robyn!

STOP! We are good times.

The knife-making will be soon, as well as some delicious tea drinking, But in the meantime here are some pictures of my latest painting that I did for school...But now I have no more art class...(tear). Oh well I get to paint an ENTIRE wall at the school next.This painting is simply entitled "Swan". Acrylic on card paper.







Time for some tea. Chocolate tea.

Cant See The Forest, Through The Trees.

I make My Living In American Cheese!
Just another art showcase, To tie over the week before I start building knives.....Anyway this is a pencil crayon series I did of tropical frogs, set on monoprinted backgrounds of basic printing ink. The background on the red-eyed tree frog, I did fist prints in the ink (the ink is spread onto a glass plate) and punched it to hard shatttering the glass. There is now some shiny shards of glass in the purple background.....I think it adds to the creative...ness. Anyway enjoy the series.
Red eyed tree frog.

Dendrobates azureus: blue pioson dart frog. Or in the native tongue Okopipi

I think this is the Granulated tree frog but I could be wrong...


Thanks!
NEXT WEEK: Knife making part .1

Instant Mustache.

Mexican wrestlers take the world PT.2! In which the wrestlers discover Removable Accesories! With Velcro!
These masks I made for my very good friends, Steve and Ryan, who I met on a SALTS sailing trip. And Thank you Robyn for your help on this project!
:Renactment: I(played by Sean Connory)sat on the very top of the Swift's main mast, lifting weights with my tongue, casually reading War and Peace with the left hand, and painting a copy of an M.C Escher while glancing wistfully at the ocean, between snipets of Russian names, and the mathematical equatons that made up my brushstrokes.
When suddenly I thought "hey(in a deep pleasing tenor),Velcro." And So here i am a few months later, sewing velcro onto some plain white Wrestling masks, and making the First ever "Customizable Wrestling Masks". And a month after that I finally get around to making a blog post. So here they are, without any furthure adoo.....The Gentleman and the Pirate!

So suave!

This is the stare you hide your kids from in the park....MMMMM!

For the Monacle, I just painted a piece of canvas gold and sewed it arount the eye, then taking an extremely fine paint brush I painted a gold chain running from the eye down the cheek.

These eyes can actually see through wall and into souls. Did I say Eyes? I meant mustache....The mustache can see your soul.

All the Mustaches are made from a double thick piece of black felt(which Robyn sewed around the edge), then a black piece of velcro, with a white piece on the mask side. Robyn Also spent time and made the entire top hat!

Don't Mess with a FU-MAN-SHOE!

....or Salvador Dali!


Now For the Pirate, I made an eyepatch that has velcro so you can flip it up and not lose depth-perception when wrestling. Also you can tie on what ever bandana you want.


Oh! Look at that, your advantage is greatly diminished by my having two eyes! And no Mustache to inhibit my use of verbal insults!

Thanks, again for the help Robyn! Steve and Ryan enjoy those masks!
