Learn.Draw.BIRD.: November 2014
http://learndrawbird.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Drawing and painting my way through the Collins bird guide. Friday, 14 November 2014. Birding in Minneapolis - day 3! My final day in Minneapolis was a bit quieter bird-wise. In the morning I decided to visit Lake Hiawatha as I'd seen on eBird. That Bufflehead had been reported there in the past - one of my target birds! At the lake it was bloody windy! Maybe I'll see where and when Chris's next North American conference will take him (and possibly me), hmmmm. Although migration had already peaked before...

Tripping About The Country- Observations from the road. Friday, October 31, 2014. FIX RATHER THAN CONDEMN. The New York Times, whaa?

mim4art: October 2014
http://mim4art.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Mail Art, of course, and some news! Notice that I'm circle happy these days. Perhaps because I've started a group on IUOMA (the Internation Union of Mailartists). That is all about circles. It was suggested to me by a colleague. And it's taken off. Obviously, it needed to be started! My friend sent me this eye so I had to use it to alter a card I received announcing a photo exhibit. I like how this piece has a spatial quality to it. It's so float-y. Do you like it? The Cavell...
