Copper Heart

Hello!

Have decided to make a little copper heart to hang among the brass leaves of my Copper Roses. I put names and dates on it. So far people have liked it. If you have a Copper Rose of mine and would like a Copper Heart, let me know and I will mail you one. Go to : Joygibat.com and email me from there or Joy@joygibat.com


The other crabapple blossoms that are outside will probably get frozen, as we often have freezing weather in Oklahoma during March. Oh well, I can wish and bringing a few inside makes me happy.
The little tree has been here for years, rarely does it bear fruit as it blooms too early.


I had a lovely birthday, now that I am 72, think I should start deciding what I want to do when I grow up.

We had a couple of nasty tornados a couple days ago. One of my daughters and I saw the storm approach as we returned from OK City. She took me to a Korean restaurant for my birthday. Had a wonderful meal,
Bibimbap (Mixed Vegetables on Rice) with lot of little side dishes. Then to a Korean grocery store for a big jar if Kim Chee and sauce to make the Bibimbap. I got lovely gifts from my other daughters and grandchildren, it ended up that I celebrated for several days. Very nice.

Romantic Roses

Have just completed an order for two large Copper Rose Buds with Brass Leaves. They are going to be used in a wedding ceremony as the first gifts that the couple gives to each other. This sounds like a lovely and romantic idea. I hope they will send me some pictures of the event. I have been busy this past week or so.
I was honored to have Winjimir order one of my Copper Roses. She has a great blog and is a prolific painter. Check her out at: http://winjimir.livejournal.com/.
I also got a rush order for 3 roses for a 7 anniversary gift. Have another set for sale at my website, Joygibat.Com
Then, the local "Firehouse Art Center, has a rush order for 4 of my Circle of Friendship. They are on their way to Japan. I did them in different color of leather lacing. They look better than the photos.
I also tried putting some of my brother's stuff (Playboy) on eBay. A waste of time and money. Sold two of the 4 listings, but one of the two hasn't paid. Just not worth it.
Anticipating the arrival of a new 7 mp Canon Powershot camera tomorrow. The one I have been using is only 1.3, so hope my photos will improve.
Am back to working on my little welded ATCs. I really like them, think they will sell, but am going to try ArtBy Us and some other places than eBay.
