The alm Project – Diary of a Crafty Insomniac

There are 2 gray crowned cranes living on the campus of my son’s high school. Each morning as I inch along with the traffic, I watch them as the go about their business. They seem to peacefully coexist with the noise and confusion that accompanies teenagers.

The Cranes

One morning my son took a picture of the cranes, he sent the image to me with this message – ” I can hardly wait to see your interpretation”. I guess he has noticed that I do not see thing the same way others do…

This is what I saw

The bird perched on top of the bamboo plant is a kingfisher. It added even more color to the piece – I love color…

I typically use my illustrations on to make pillows,  but this time I wanted to spread my wings, I used it to customize a lamp shade.

The Lamp

Here is what it looks like as a pillow.Do you see what I see?
