E.T. Mask

Wow, I never knew my ET mask would be so popular. I had someone write me about 3 weeks ago asking to use it for their costume, and I just got a photo from someone who used it and wanted to thank me.

I made it specifically because there is no mask online that I could find to make my ET costume last year. It's nice to know that there are few people out there who have the same idea as me and like my mask enough to use it.

As for our traditional halloween party at Andrew and Alison's, our costumes were very popular (for the people who knew who we were). We won best group costume. You can see a picture of us below:

Unfortunately I won't be home this Halloween. Amanda and I are going up to Quincy Illinois to meet with family to inter my grandmother. At least I will get to see some family and find out how the etching I did for the headstone turns out.

Lightship Basket

My grandmother died recently. I got a call at 4 telling me that she wasn't doing well, I got a chance to call her and basically say 'goodbye' and she was dead at 4:45. Then a couple of days ago I got a call from my dad asking if I would do a drawing of Nantucket Lightship Basket for the headstone. Kinda freaky, but I agreed.

The one below is the first one I did which was WAY too detailed:

This next one is the one that most likely is going to end up on the headstone. There may be a few more changes, but this is where things stand now:
