Faun-tastic

I haven’t updated my site in ages.  There are far too many reasons to explain.  One of those reasons (and one of the reasons I don’t care to take the time to explain) is the first of two carpal tunnel surgeries.  I shouldn’t really be typing. …Oh, and I’m not.  Right, right.  I’m pounding my face against the keyboard and it’s just pure Shakespearean-chimps-at-typewriter chance that words and coherent sentences are the result.  It’s really creepy.

Anyway, I want to share at least a peak at what’s developing in my world of busking.  Pavement art is getting progressively hard on my body… So, I’ve decided to start building an other-worldly walk-about character who will surely help me ruin the remaining parts of my body left undmanged by chalk.  So far, I call her “Faunus”.

I’ll let the photos do the typing now, but stay tuned for a finished, full body faun, late in 2011…

Just in Time For Winter Holiday Fun Gift Celebration Turkey Time!

Ok, I celebrate Christmas.  Let’s just get that out there.  But whatever YOU celebrate, don’t let the occasion go by without seriously considering which Franken Toy you’d like to adopt!

They’re getting all sorts of blog famous, so you should really find your special guy before they all get Christmas’d up!  (snatched up. …at Christmas time, I mean.)  I’m sorry, I’ve had one sip of wine and I don’t hold my booze very well.  Bear with me.)

Remember also that new Franken toys go up to the shop every week or so.  If you don’t see the right one for you, keep coming back!  It’s virtually a toy factory over here at my house, with adorable limbs, torsos and severed puppy heads everywhere!  It’s just a matter of time before your perfect pal shows up, ready to be adopted.

So, get ready for Christmas with Franken Toys for the family!
(They’re lonely here.  They cry at night, asking where their Mommies and Daddies are.)

Go check out http://www.etsy.com/shop/frankentoys right away!

NOW!#%$@!!!

Rachel and a Bus Adventure Blog 32~Denver Gold Panning

I stopped in Denver to see the wonderful and charming Ashley Westfall.  I’m disappointed in myself for missing SO much content I could have put on a video in my time in Denver, staying in Providence Network’s transformational housing and seeing what great work they’re doing there.
But fun outings are great to film, too.  Here’s my night out with Ashley!
