Happy Birthday and Happy Easter!!!

It was a happy weekend, my Birthday and Easter...I made my daughter an Easter "pink" bunny bouquet, I also made my son's girlfriend a birthday bouquet as it is her birthday on the 13th and I won't see her. The cute "belly dancer" was crocheted by one of my members in my stitching group and they gave her to me for my "b" day, isn't she adorable? 

hubby gave me a Lilly plant. :) [tradition] the family had fun eating and foolling around, the g-daughters are growing like weeds, and my niece sent me a china "April" tea cup and tea, and the eggs are the ones my g-daughters colored.They were really pretty. :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and weekend!!!

daughter gave me a purple hat for my Red Hats because you
have to switch your colors on your birthday

son gave me $$$$

Wood Chip Artwork by Sergey Bobkov 54-year-old Sergei Bobkov has patented a unique technique of creating amazing sculptures out of Siberian cedar wood-chips. The Unique Wood-Chip Sculptures of Sergei Bobkov http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/the-unique-wood-chip-sculptures-of-segei-bobkov.html “It’s not very interesting to do what others can. To create something out of nothing in a completely new way is far more inspiring”.  This is how Sergei Bobkov explains the unique form of art that he created.  He says many people compare his artworks to taxidermy, because they both look so much like the animals they replicate, but Sergei believes they are as different as light and darkness. Whereas taxidermy is all about death, his wood-chip art symbolizes life. This resident of Kozhany, Russia , has developed his very own technique, that prevents wood-chips from falling apart in time.  After creating about 100-150 chips, from 2-3 inch long cedar stick, he puts them in water for several days.  Then, making use of his surgical precision, he carves the chips into any shape he needs. Sergey has been doing this for some time now, but he has only created 11 wood-chip sculptures. That’s because just one of these incredible artworks takes around six months to complete, at a work rate of 10 to 12 hours a day, with no days off.  Sergei Bobkov focuses on wildlife creatures, and he studies their anatomy for months, before starting work on a sculpture. Even though he was offered $27,000 for his wood-chip eagle, Sergei’s Bobkov declined, saying his art is not for sale.
