Devious Journal Entry

One of the things I am enjoying more these days is the fact that I am involved with more groups. On or off Deviant Art it is still good to know there are people out there who appreciate my work. I recently shared an old piece of work
on one of the groups I am involved in on Facebook, [link] I Love Skulls
on one of the groups I am involved in on Facebook, [link] I Love Skulls It was received well enough and I am happy with that reception so I am thinking about showing off more of my work there.

Back To Work It Seems
2 min read
Well, I'm back to work, doing more art and some stuff that I didn't even expect. I've now got a small workshop where I am making different things everything from Jewelry to toys. I've always wanted to get back into the making of playthings but never had the room or the money for tools but without realizing it I built up quite a collection over the years and all I needed was a space to work. It's a small area but big enough for me and my ideas. I don't plan on any big projects. I've made some rosaries and some eye glass chains. I made jewelry sets for my Grandchildren they will be able to wear their whole lives. I'm working on several picture frames for some of my favorite photos of my Grandchildren and My cats. and I'm doing digital work again, something I had thought I was pretty much finished with but no I have been finding inspiration out there and I'm doing lots of photography and finally getting to some of the stuff I took and never even bothered to look at these last few years. Well, anyway I am happy to say I have my inspiration back and it feels good. Be on the look out for a variety of new work from me. Take care and have a great day. I am.

A Death In The Family

My heart has joined the thousand for my friend stopped running today.
Richard Adams
Some members here will remember my little Foundling and how I found her on a ledge outside the window of a third floor apartment I'd just moved into. That was in 2004 or around there. I'm no good with numbers so I'm just as no good with dates. She lived with me ever since and I have to admit there have been times I don't know what I would have done without her.
Foundling didn't mind that I would go back and forth between New York and Pa. Only once did I leave her behind but even then it wasn't long before I sent for her. Foundling was a talker and she loved attention. If she didn't get the attention she felt was her due she would let me know about it. She loved to play with her laser pointer and small toys and she loved to be held but only for a little while. I loved to hear her purr when she would lay next to my head I often fell off to sleep listening to her sing her song as my Mom used to call it. I remember more than once when I would wake up confused and half out of it from a nightmare she would be there letting me know everything was ok. After I stopped having the nightmares she kept close and often I would be up all night on my pc she wouldn't be far away. She loved laying in my laundry basket or under my desk.
It was last week she began to show signs that she wasn't well. At first she started sneezing and after a little while she got an eye infection and then she lost her appetite but she still drank water so I wasn't too worried. Then she stopped drinking anything, not her water, not her cat milk my room mate bought for her and she loved. She laid around not wanting to be bothered for several days until it seemed she was getting better. Her eye that had been plastered shut opened again and she was at least drinking water. but that didn't last long. She began to hide from me and the others here. The other cats in the house left her alone and didn't bother her. She was like that for three days until today She tried a couple times to get up but fell back down no longer trying to do anything but breathe so shallowly that I had to watch her carefully to make sure she was breathing at all.
This afternoon I checked on her to see she had finally passed on. She is gone from my life now but I am so much better for having known her. She will be missed but I know her spirit won't be far away.
Until we meet again good bye my dear little friend. I will miss you.
