I had only imagined such beings. We had all manner of the same things you show. I was especially blown away by how huge they could get. I also remember having to remove many a dead bird who had dined on some of the morsels, became drunk and smashed repeatedly into the windows. <br /><br />Besides the adjustment this dessert girl had to make, the beauty of all of that was/is that in the earlies days of Spring this spots are where the incredibly beautiful trillium will often appear.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140738523399836125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-59687338716622775842009-12-09T07:05:38.803-08:002009-12-09T07:05:38.803-08:00Have you ever done spore prints?

You can successfully identify the critter. Essential if you want to be certain of wild species.<br />More to the point: The spore prints are beautiful! Subtle oclor, incredible pattern.<br />Can this be done on cloth? I've tried - not had much success,. I think a very dense weave is required, and then a means of "fixing" the surface.laura cater-woodshttp://www.cater-woods.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-43390636642217991072009-12-07T23:12:40.981-08:002009-12-07T23:12:40.981-08:00Oh my goodness in the world of creativity I can th...Oh my goodness in the world of creativity I can think of so many things from these wonderful photos!This should be a quilting/creativity contest for sure!
