From Dawn Patel: " I paint thousands of stones. Some are left in public places as my contribution to the Free Arts Movement. Some I sell (this one is $10.00 on Etsy)  due to a growing demand.
I paint on the stones with Golden Acrylic paint, for the most dense and vibrant pigments.
This particular stone is a profile with a bird in flight. I call him bird brain when I'm in an irreverant mood, and the Mind's Flight when I'm feeling more poetic."

Patti Brassard Jefferson shared an illustration from her first children's book HOW LONG WILL YOU LOVE ME?  Her website is here.  She created this drawing using Derwent watercolor pencils.

She describes her thought process: "I find that when I am doing illustrations for children's book, that if the image cracks me up a bit, I'm probably on to something. And even if I am not, well at least I've cracked myself up. Its a simple philosophy!"

"Take Flight" is a print from an original watercolor painting by Laura Crump. $10.00 available here

 Kim created this 3/4" square copper pendant, hand stamped with the word "believe". There is a silver toned, 1/2" flying pig charm attached at the top of the pendant.

And yes, of course it does! (Have a great vacation Merdy!)
