Friends, thank you very much :D I don't think I can take much credit for Tater Tot's cuteness, my daughter looks just like her mother. Fortunately for our descendants, I didn't seem to add much to the gene pool in the way of looks. Hopefully they will get some creativity from me.

Giles, I don't know what rope would do but I have some copper wire to wrap around that bottle when I fire it.

Speaking of creativity ~ in the past 4 years I have acquired a minor measure of proficiency with clay but my 2D skills suck! I can draw flies. I can draw a bath. If I do something really stupid I can even draw a crowd. Every so often I'm inspired with an idea for a painting. Close your eyes and picture this... (wait, if you close your eyes you won't be able to read it!) A powerful Maori warrior and the sternpost of his war canoe silhoueted against the Southern Lights with the Southern Cross high above in the sky.

Yeah, not quite what I had pictured either. Go ahead and laugh, I can take it :lol:
Watercolor, ink, and chalk pastels. One of these days I'm going to take a painting class so I can at least make decent sketches of my ideas :D
