Monday Photo Shoot

   Yes, I know it's not Monday. But John said that it's only called the Monday Photo Shoot because that's the day he posts it. This week's topic is:

Your Monday Photo Shoot: Take a picture of something you've made. Pottery, cookies, a drawing or painting, a poem or a pipe cleaner stick man -- it's all good, it just has to have been made by you. Show off your creativity.

   So, here it is.

   What is it? It's a Christmas gift. Or at least it was a Christmas gift. I gave it to a fellow netizen, a regular over on the forums at Brightweavings.com, several years ago. Every year several of us participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange that is generously run by one of our members.
   For a closer look, click on the picture to see a larger version. It is a verse from one of Guy Gavriel Kay's books printed on 'vellum' and then adhered to a piece of decorative hand made paper (made by my hands). That paper, thick with crushed stems of sage, and a few african violet petals, was then stuck on a piece of white, textured paper, and signed by Mr. Kay for the recipient.
   That recipient was a woman in England whose name I had been assigned by random drawing (Hi Daisyjane). I think I got my wife a pair of socks that year. Yeah, and you were wondering why I built that dog house.
   Anyway, there you have it: my one stab at creativity. Actually, I once wrote song for the piano, but I can't remember how to play it anymore.
