I'm very glad he did! <br /><br />I actually own several pairs of Desideratum earrings, including the dragonflies.

I was so surprised when I began pulling that tooth and saw how long it was.. all I could think was "How do 4 of these ever fit in that little compact skull.. <br /><br />... one of my little delicate skulls is from a crow or a raven that I found on our hill before we began building our house here... I like to think it was a member of the same family that still lives up here on the bluff...<br /> <br /> I keep coaxing John to post more of his paintings but he is in "project mode" at the moment, working at saving an old structure down the road... if he had his wishes though he would be painting all the time with just a break for sustenance... <br />I'll tell him you browsed his work... <br />Thank you so much for all the encouragement!!!Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-28717192442241945422009-11-15T16:17:14.591-04:002009-11-15T16:17:14.591-04:00Was just browsing through all the skull posts, sta...Was just browsing through all the skull posts, starting with the human skull...
