Dragons



As you can see, this item is three years old. I wanted to do more than just a geometrical design, so I added in a couple of dragons, trying to keep them as alike as possible, which is rather difficult. But it was close enough that a number of people seem to like them.

Scripture and Haida



Having liked the sun image that I described once before, and knowing that the Haida often use almost the same image for the sun and the moon, I thought I would also try something similar. I placed a gutter between them to keep them separate, but then I thought that they might make a wonderful Scripture illustration. Psalm 72:5 fit perfectly -

"Let them fear You while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, thoughout all generations."

Braided Border



Early in my work on borders I tried creating a "braid" that I could use for a border, placing different designs on the strands thereof. None of them are particularly memorable, but this one might well be the best of the lot.

Perhaps you can take the idea and create one that is worth using repeatedly. I'd enjoy seeing what you do.
