Pitter Patterns

A friend of mine sent me a menu she designed in Word with clip art she found on the web. I tried to convince her that art downloaded from the web would not print well. She was nervous about any changes since her wedding date was only a few weeks away. Instead, I thought I would show her. I scanned her invitation and used the artwork (flower) to redesign her menu in my favorite program ever: Illustrator. I would shoot myself if I had to design in Word. Ok maybe not shoot myself, but I would cry a lot.

Found a few pigeon feathers on my jog yesterday. They are surprisingly very strong along the stem for being so light and, well, feathery. Also, they are simply stunning even coming from such a humble bird. I would exercise a lot more if I knew I could find feathers along the way. Promise. I would have a collection for a set of wings.

I came across a quote recently that made me consider some of the things I secretly worship. Hope you consider them too.
