The picture below is the source of my avatar.  The avatar is the origami Desert Willow flower the origami hummingbird is feeding from. I designed the Desert Willow Blossom and the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is designed by Michael LaFosse ( http://www.origamido.com/). Since this hummingbird represents a female, the throat is white. A photo of both the male and female can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/origami-turtle/2527341664/in/set-72157605279400237/. After 45 years of folding paper and trying other crafts, this is the first piece I made that I considered art. Anna |

Oh, Annalog, love your Origami! My Japanese aunt-by-marriage taught us Origami when we were kids, and I've been doing all the normal stuff off and on since then, about the same, 45 years. These are sooooo beautiful, I'm going to be exploring the websites...thanks for sharing this!

Thanks Betsy. Of all the crafts I have done over the years, Origami is the one I have kept doing consistently. I did not progress past the "normal stuff" until about 5 years ago when I saw the Origami Masterworks that was at the Mingei museum in San Diego. It opened my eyes to what has been happening with Origami since I left high school. There is some absolutely amazing Origami visible on the Web.

I understand; quilting is like that for me, I tried most everything else but quilting hooked me and eventually I got to the art level. I'm going to be surfing the net, though!

Oh, I've been quilting since '85. Only started art qulting the last 8 years or so. I went to some seminars at the Empty Spools in Asilomar, California (near Monterrey). Great to kick start the process. Betsy |

 My avatar is of a very inquisitive Christmas Wrasse. I don't remember what I was attempting to photograph but this little guy swam up a stuck his head in my shot. It was almost as if he was saying...What'cha doing? Funny how sometimes the neatest photographs are purely accidental. |

It was taken on the Eau Gallie Causeway looking toward the mainland. |

Anna, that is an amazing piece of art. I don't think I've ever seen "real" origami, it is so cool. |

Picture was taken at the butterfly garden at the zoo. My teenage daughter and I spent the day at the zoo acting like little kids, we had fun.  |
