Another busy week

It started off nice and easy, a Dr's appt here, fishing on the boat there.  Here's a rainbow that we saw before we took the boat out.  No rain, just rainbow.  Gorgeous.

 Isn't this the funniest looking fish?  We were stumped as to what it actually was.  We've gotten lots of suggestions; lizard fish, Fred, and the moon worm from Star Wars!



Then it all seemed to be gone in a moment.  Time, I mean.

I worked on my detailed jewelry project most of the week and finally finished it on Thursday afternoon.

Friday, TDH and I went back to Arcadia to do more Fossil hunting.  The weather was great, but it must have rained more often in the interior of FL than on the coast because the Peace River was deeper and the current was faster than the week before.  It wasn't dangerous or anything but picking up the shovel with the faster current was a challenge.  We found some really interesting things and are definitely going to do it again, maybe later on in the year after the rainy season.

The top left picture is most of the stuff we found, after being washed, drying on the towel outside.  The center one is a set of teeth, most likely from and Ocean Sunfish.  The left center pictures is what we think is a fish scale.  The bottom left is what we think is an armor plate from an alligator or some such from prehistoric times.  We've ordered a book that will help us identify what we find, so I may have a retraction in the next few weeks to print.

This is the finished jewelry product that I teased you with last week!  I"m so proud of how it came out, it took such a long time and was so detailed in it's execution.  He is a little big for a pendant so right now he is hanging on my bookcase guarding all of my treasures.

He is work hardened dead soft wire in a bronze color, with gold florist wire weave (scales, wing wrap and head wrap), his chest is covered in ombre gold, brown, yellow and clear seed beads.

Well, was it worth the wait?  For me it was.

Be well folks.  Talk to you next time!
