Burl

Burl

      We were checking out a new fishing lake, and I found this little beauty.  A little burl, about the size of a quarter, floating in the water.  It looks like a little top.  I added a screw ring, so I could wear it.

     I was making another "Mother's Day Brooch," but ran out of thread, before I could finish the last two rings.  So, I have a pendant.

Wood?

Wood?

       We made a quick trip to central Montana to look at dinosaur exhibits.  While there we had to check out a potential fishing lake.  This was sticking out of the ground...petrified log?  That's what it look like, looking at it from this angle.  After inspection, it was just an ordinary rock formation.  

 

Case

     Of course, new hand sanitizer case, new tatting case to match.

    I always carry hand sanitizer for germs and to keep my hands clean before I start to tat.  I needed a new one for my new purse.
