Not a catch-all post, but a photo of a spider web I discovered hanging off the edge of evergreen branches, like a net ready to catch anything that passed by:
Maybe that explains where all those squirrels got off to. Kidding!
(If you’re viewing this blog entry in a reader or in facebook, make sure you click the thumbnail or you probably won’t see the delicate spider web amid all the green.)
I just created and sent out a new Art of FoxVox Shop Newsletter, and thought I’d post the highlights here as well.
First, I have a new Celtic design called “Celtic Crescents”! Celtic Crescents is a stylized design with off-center moon-shapes imbedded inside each other, detailed with metallic-look gold, copper orange, and silver grey spirals and Celtic knotwork, each crescent held attached with screws. Each crescent represents a design of an ancient Celtic torc or metal necklace. So there are ancient elements with a bit of contemporary flair and just a bare hint of steampunk style! (That would be the screws – heh.) Click here or on one of the sample tees or gifts below to see all Celtic Crescent t-shirts, SIGG bottles, ornaments, tile boxes, greeting cards, and more!
You can decorate your wall with a fine art print, either framed or unframed, of ‘Celtic Crescents’, to add a little Celtic flair and color to any room. Prints come in sizes from 8″x8″ up to 36″x36″, and are available on many different kinds of papers, and canvas as well! Click here or on the framed image below to see a more detailed image and also to order your print via Imagekind.com.
I also have a number of great coupons you can use when buying t-shirt and gift items in my shop – check out the schedule of savings:

Years ago I found a cool copper mug with a brass stamp of the Aztec/Mayan calendar on it – this is a close up of the calendar relief on that mug. Just felt like taking a macro photo of it! Dramatic story, no?
(Click the image above for a larger view, and to get a goldish print for your wall – heh.)
This is the little guy I caught peering in at me while I was doing dishes the other day. Or maybe he was just making his way up the side of the house and happened to take a rest on the window screen. Either way, I’m glad he stayed long enough for me to go outside and get a few shots. Love the wavey look in the lower half – maybe there is such a thing as a crimper for snakes.
And a closeup head shot, quite glamorous:
I caught a photo of one of our turtles vogue-ing the other day! Well, okay, as close to vogue-ing that she was ever going to get, being a turtle and all, which basically amounts to looking up instead of plunging off the rock into the water at the first sign of movement – LOL:
You can’t tell from the angle of her head, which is hiding the stripes, but she’s actually a red-eared slider, and about 15 years old now, with a shell that’s about 9 inches long. The other turtle is the same age, but doesn’t like getting her photo taken, apparently. *grin*
