Long time no blog

It's been a while since I paid the bamboo chronicles a visit.  This is no doubt in large due to the fact that I have not been in the workshop producing any new work.  My motivations are sporadic at best which is synonymous with my total being.  Some days I feel it and others, well we won't go there.  I am planning on getting back in the saddle, Ha........speaking of saddle, I rode a mechanical bull on Friday night.  I couldn't resist the temptation.  When I saw the bull I knew I had to ride it.  After all it was on my bucket list, so I had to.  Lessons learned, next time I will wear boots and gloves.  So, Whats next  in the bamboo adornment arena are the variations of the popular ovals.  I begun to carve them in a way that resembles corkscrews.  My attempt is to make it look like a spiral, which is difficult but what came out of it was interesting.  The final outcome wasn't what I had in mind, but it works.  As I make more of these I think the desired look can be perfected over  time.  Another new creation I call the Eyes of Egypt are triangular in shape.  They have designs cut out of them that resemble large teardrops but at the bottom I created grooves that resemble eyes.  The color is a natural light golden hue, which reminds me of the sands and pyramids in Egypt..........OK, peeps.........more to come as I cannot find my camera.....but I will post the pictures of the latest and greatest as soon as possible.  Thanks for viewing. Luv Yo!
