My ArtFire Store!

***********

Even though I check in a couple times a week, I just realized that I haven't updated my art or journal in a very long time.
Not much to update, artistically, but I'm hoping to "open up" again very soon.

I have had a very unusual last year and a half, mostly because I've known more people who have passed away in that time (eleven), then in my entire life before. The first was my sister-in-law, who I was very close to. That shook me up for many moths. Also a couple ex-coworkers, and one newly hired coworker passed. And two of our board of directors (I was on the board, at one time), too.
The last was my father, who passed away last week. We had a nice service for him, complete with a retired Marine Corps honor guard, who played Taps on the bugle, and presented my step-mother with an American Flag. It was very moving, especially since I am an Air Force veteran, and I had only ever seen one funeral before (when I was active), which included a military Honor Guard.

I just noticed a few things about my account... I am just about to hit 30k views!
Whoot!

Also, my most popular deviation, "Sleep Childe... Dream Catcher", has hit 15,000 views and 1,000 faves! Thank you all!



During my visit to Dad's house, after his funeral this week, I noticed that he had one of the dream catchers that I made many years ago. Next time that I am there, I will have to get a picture of it, to post here.

Other then that, I don't really have much more in the way of news. I really do hope this year will see a re-birth of my artistic spark. Stay tuned, as I have the feeling it will.
And the sooner, the better!

Peace & Love, Happiness & Hugs!
