Photo project from my Instagram feed, @rodneyssaga. Specfic: Nine of the 13 photos last month were horse or pasture related, although some are not as obvious, e.g. the glasses were from the ASHAA banquet [Annual Awards 2015]. Two LEGO bricks.

View from the Top
Rodney loves his new tack. He is wearing a side-pull hackamore noseband, a headpiece, & reins. That’s it. No saddle. No bit. I have been reluctantly edging toward this all month [Headgear]. I knew Rodney would prefer the bit to stay in the barn. I knew a happier horse would be less inclined to doContinue reading “View from the Top”

Plus, this is a wonderful way to both enjoy and protect this lovely quilt panel. The background material has bits of bling mixed in. This gives the effect of “Hanging inContinue reading “Framed!”
Letter Art: B is for Brush
2016 Alphabet Apple 2015 Alphabet ~~~ Design notes First use of a Bezier curve. Go me. Used to draw the acute angle between the two bowls. Everything else was the ellipse tool.

State of the Blog: Comment Policy
Resuming my end-of-the-month pontifications on writing & blogging. I appear to have left off back in June of last year [Y’All Connect]. I stopped due to some compelling theory that escapes me at this time. I am starting back up as part of my effort to improve the blog, i.e. “the same, but better” [HelloContinue reading “State of the Blog: Comment Policy”
