Well I got to attend the last Oceanside chop at Bill and Lennie's house this weekend, and had such a great time! Not only did we get to hang out with great friend's, but I also had a chance to do some woodburning! My poor burner's been feeling very neglected lately. Babalu and Billy took a couple of these pictures at the chop so I thought I'd share them.

Here I am in action...

Oh the excitement! :lol:

Here's what I was working on. It's a beautiful piece of ficus that Buzzy cut and stained for me a while ago...

It has a hidden "C" for myself Christina, and a hidden "J" for my son Jaden in there. So tricky! Ha Ha I thought I finished this at the chop, but when I got home I realized there were a few things I wanted to add so I'll get back to it real soon. In the mean time here a some pictures of what I did...

I love that woodburner!!

I also had the chance to sit with Kinny and try out some of his paints. Thanks Kinny! Here we are, and you can really see how talented I am with a dropper. Ha Ha (Look at how cute Ringo is!)

I thought it was neat how different the finished product was from the way the process went. Here's what it wound up looking like in the end...

That was fun! Now I have to come up with something cool to make from it.

Hi Freddie! I know, who would have known? :) I try to stay on the sidelines, and not steal the spotlight from Buzzy with all of my amazing talents. :lol: Thanks for the ideas to help with my costume too. I'll let you know how it goes!

I'm sooo proud of you for climbing back in the saddle. This work is really well executed. See ya tomorrow at the Chop! I hope that your tattooing sis is coming too? Your the BOMB Zaya! Oh, I guess you can bring that Buzzy guy too if ya have to. Peace Kiddo,

Awww, thank you Babalu!! It was great seeing you at the chop yesterday. I have to admit that after seeing the clay you had there I haven't been able to stop thinking about it! You guys make it look like so much fun, and I can't help but want to try it out. In the mean time my mind's been spinning with different ideas so I'm prepared for the day I have the chance.

Now it's back to work. Darn day job! :)
