My heart and soul of July



My Peacock; "Cornell"
Ta Da!!!! Cornell was finished at the end of July. He is now in place on Schwenk Drive in Kingston, NY in front of Ryan & Ryan Insurance. As you can see, the stone statue idea did not work out. I like this outcome much better. Cornell was inspired by Thomas Cornell.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cornell_%28politician%29 Whose place in our local history is firmly established.

We made a pot luck salad lunch, all of our contributions were delicious. Then, sharing our projects and getting down to our beading, it was great! Having a beading circle of friends is the best. Wendy is working on a Muse. Her piece is really gorgeous, very intricate beading. My hours involved in my Chalcedony piece do not compare to what Wendy is investing in her Muse. I am looking forward to it being finished, and I am sure Wendy will allow me to share here. The picture in the upper left, this is a joke compared to what Wendy is doing but I like it because it was born out of frustration. I was trying to make a bracelet in peyote stitch which involved following a visua...
