Signifidance:

 How does it look 
when split in two;
What do you have?
a photon with shoes.
           In the Sun, slick sidewalks lose their hold.

 Raise your hands if you like tan lines!

 Postcard worthy?

Spring Break in MT

Last week was Spring Break, so instead of driving all the way down to Laramie to visit my sister (sorry, we'll see each other this summer) I went up to Whitefish for a bit of snowboarding and to check out Stumptown Art Studio again.  The latter is becoming one of my favorite places in the state.  I always get inspired in there.  The people working, the mantra; they got a cool thing going on up there.  Maybe it's Glacier's stark cool blue ice sending down its healing waters towards Flathead Lake.  I'd like to find out one day, but leaving the magic be a mystery is fine by me.

13th Annual Nate Chute

I want this chandelier.  Stained glass is always cool.

He's made from felt!

A birthday present.  Later on it was melted down and all the

glass was fused together, then slumped into a candle holder shape.

I still haven't seen it past this stage.  I'm quite curious.

Kalispell original 

Wouldn't this make a cool piggy bank, albeit a heavy one.

 

Recent Doodles and a Bon Voyage

Classes have taken over most of my free time lately, 

so my productivity in creation has slackened a bit.  

That and my new conga drum 

has been keeping me preoccupied.  

When I visited Dublin in July last year.  I came home with some coasters from the Guinness factory.  This little guy was staring at me with a smirk.  I had to turn him into an expat.

I came across an interesting website that is basically a paint application with a few tweaks.  It was fun letting the lines connect to each other.  Scribbles

Since my roommate will be racing in Europe much longer than he originally anticipated.  I celebrated my last beverage in Rodney Dangerfield's face with a photo.  ¡Ciao!

A relaxing Saturday afternoon.

Another intact cloud passing over the dry valley.

Finally he stopped sliding around the place.

Mini-gallery inside the Emerson.

Another fine example of reuse.  An old cigarette machine transformed into a fine art dispenser.

A little craft work on the railing outside of the Stix Yarn Co.

Settled & taking it all in.

Since arriving here, friendly people sharing greetings are all I've met.  The majority of the residents are from out of the area.  The many different backgrounds are not the focus, but the single desire to live here and enjoy all that is offered lies at the heart of connections in this town.

You can guarantee that the section of sidewalk in front of my house

 will not be an icy hip-shattering experience. 

Notice!!!

Oh, when such tragic events occur

the mettle deep within the soul

bends to a splintering angle,

testing the iron core of our resolve.

If you have any knowledge of the whereabouts of this representative of humanity.

Please call.
