a favorite bowl... the war bowl

I've been waiting for a chance to purchase the 'war bowl'. ever since
I saw it, i was fascinated by it's beauty and it's creative genius.
It's created with a series of melted plastic toy soldiers. The one I
saw was originally in blue. I had wanted white. I'm glad I found
one...

I'm reminded of beauty, light and in a small way... it allows me to
honor those fallen, from time past that served their country, whomever
they are and wherever they may be.

If you're interested in one of these, they can be found at Thorsen Van Elton

Designing T-shirts...

I spent some time on 'Threadless.com' yesterday learning about their community and their site. Turns out that *anyone* can submit ideas for t-shirts and the community votes on the ones they want made.

I (humbly) entered my own selection... see here:



  



I had fun doing this. It was great. As with all communities, there are the 'hard-core' people that always win... but it would be cool for a newbie like me to get a winning design. 'Hey, I did that'
