MORE INTARSIA WOOD PIECES BY BILL

HERE ARE SOME MORE OF BILL'S WONDERFUL WOODWORK.  THE PATTERNS FOR THESE PROJECTS WERE PURCHASED.  Some of these projects have hundreds of pieces and are cut out on a scrollsaw.  I love all of these, especially the beautiful large fan!  He made it for me and may make some to sell.  The gun plaques are flat sided and of course are non-working.  They are merely for decor but look so real.  I hope you enjoy seeing his little gallery in our den.

ON EAGLE"S WINGS

He gives power to the faint and to him who has no might He increases strength.

Even youths shall faint and be weary and young men shall fall exhausted;

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,

They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:29

I have always loved this verse in the Bible!  It speaks to all of us who have weaknesses and impatience.  But by faith and patience we can become strong taking comfort that all things happen in the Lord's timing.  I respect all religions and no matter what the sect, we all believe in 1 God.  May He bring comfort to all those who are burdened and distressed.  Fill yourself with joy, happiness is where you find it: in nature, in the fall leaves, the Indian Summer sunshine, the birds and their songs, good friends and neighbors, a loving family. God Bless you all this fine Autumn day!

The carving above is a large wall plaque that my hubby hand carved a few years ago.  I love its strong lines and rough texture

Sunny Saturday

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FALL MORNING!!  The swans were already out to greet me on the lake in back of the house and I was there in my nightgown to snap their pictures!  Please go to the TWO HAPPY site with the link above to see them.  Only one week and we have to be ready for the craft show!  We are painting wood pieces and I am sewing like mad!  Can't wait to go as it has been 2 yrs. since we had a display due to Bill not feeling up to it last year.  They are adding Friday night for a couple of hours just for residents in our community so that should be fun!  The motorcycle portraits will be a special order of course, and the sample pictures shown are ones I have done in the past.  They are 3-dimensional and will sit on a door ledge with the leg hanging over or on a shelf.  As you can see, I better get going with the painting of the rest of those wood items!  Have a great weekend!
