Protector of the Gold

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Today a family called looking for an urn with the image of a griffin. I love the idea of this ancient symbol of protection on a cremation urn.
We’ve got a couple of griffins out in the garden. The legendary Griffin symbol is a fascinating creature with the body of a lion and […]

Hillbilly Funeral

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Full Bird

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

In Memory of GGA

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints in the sands of time.
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

No time for diversions, but projects that have caught our eye of late:

This baby garden for small spaces. The artist used a cast-off wooden tray and does not recommend wood containers for YOUR fairy garden. It WILL ruin the furniture if you want a table top version. Note to self: Water plants.
In a desperate […]

Atomic Number 27

Friday, March 7th, 2008

For centuries Cobalt compounds have been used to create a rich blue color to glass, glazes, and ceramics. Cobalt has been detected in Egyptian sculpture and Persian jewelry from the third millennium BC, in the ruins of Pompeii, and in China dating from the Tang and Ming dynasties.

Pure cobalt is not found in nature, but […]
