Besides gardening, I create stained glass art, and am currently learning how to draw - planning on learning to tattoo.

Awesome work Dave, the mourning angel is especially meaningful to me... I've seen the dremel bits but only used the ones for cutting when I was making models...

Jenny stained glass is something I have always been interested in but too sidetracked to try.. and I loooooove the butterfly! When you get the tattoo thing down maybe you can fix this stupid skull on my right shoulderblade lol... no one seems to know what to do to hide it...

Still in the corps Jimmy

Jenny that's some stunning bits there! Would never be brave enough to tattoo

Hey Jenny

Loved the stain glass, beautiful.

I paint and draw and have been doing so for quite some time. The best part of doing it for me is the observational part. It's not really important to make a perfect rendering of what you see, you could do that much more easily with a camera. It's just really looking at something and noticing things that you didn't see before.

I'm not much on tattoos for myself but I've seen some that are truly works of art. I'm kind of facenated by that.

Jar - I am a photographer as well... need to post some of those pics.. in my mind photography can send a message the same as a painting or such.. you'll have to see a few of the pics I am talking about to understand.. and well I guess at least one you need to know a little of the background on it..

Would love to see what you have done.. and I am not a butterfly kinda guy believe me... but ya... I would let Jenny ink that one on me... it is easy to get lost in the design.. so ya.. ok I concede drawing is a lot more objective than photography...

Off to the VA,, lol believe it or not they caught up with me.. I sent a nasty email to the nurse at the primary care clinic and on Thurs had 4 appt slips in my mail box to mental health... one for every week this month.. yes this is a far diff VA than I remember..

Deffo mate, I'll have to pinch Mrs SD's laptop and get some of my old stuff on here, could be good for a giggle.

ok... just some random pics.. mostly the same person.. but if you double click on the top right pic it brings you to a larger view and you can read my comments on each pic.. a few aren't portraits, like at least one of Nichol... but saw the pic and thought it a good way to introduce yall to her.. (since we were already there lol)
