Bunny Bean Bag Toss

I spend the last few weeks rushing to make a Bean Bag Toss game in time for my rescue's BIG fundraiser (Bunny Hop for Hope 2010).  It was a bit rushed at times as it was not the only task i had on my plate but it was finished with a whopping two days to spare!!

Check out the pictures of it's progress below!

First night I was able to get her sketched out and
get the sky painted!!

Finished the grass and started the sun & tulips.

Close up on the soon to be bunny (nameless at this point!)

Almost done but I wanted to get the holes cut out before
going any further... and that took a few days!

Holes cut!!

The finished bean bag toss!
Introducing Bentley the Bunny!!

Close up on Miss Bentley.

I am really quite proud of how well it turned out.  She's so cute and everyone at the Bunny Hop really seemed to enjoy her!

"Glass Flower"

It was five years ago today that I first picked up my pen and decided to start writing. Glass Flower is the first poem I ever wrote, probably the first anything that I ever wrote creatively.  So today, 5 years later I wanted to share it with you.

Cheers!

GLASS FLOWER

Mother, star

Imitate

One life attempted

Glass flower

Bleed for me

Be for me

Die for me

A glass flower never wilts

How can you exist?

My glass flower never lived

Angel, devil

Imitate

Beauty attempted

Glass flower

Bleed for me

Be for me

Die for me

A glass flower never wilts

How can you exist?

My glass flower never lived

Head up, eyes down

Who are you today?

Who you pretend to be

Bleed for me

Be for me

Die for me

A glass flower never wilts

How can you exist?

My glass flower never lived

Wilt for me glass flower

One life defended

One life denied

"The Shadow of the Day"

 THE SHADOW OF THE DAY

 In the shadow of the day

 You lie on the carpet

 Of my room

 Where I once lay

 In peace and solitude

 Spread out full in blossom

 To feel the warmth

 In spirit

 That I lay beneath you

 In the shadow of the day

 A silken body

 Naked in soul

 A free a spirit

 I long to behold

 I touch you once

 Lips so hot with life

 I touch you twice

 Your eyes as cold as ice

 To tease me with

 The thoughts you hold so close

 Hold me close

 Follow your voice

 Now you lie in a room so bare

 Close your eyes

 You still see me there

 Perched upon the bottom stair

 I laugh, you cry

 Touch of sex in my eyes

 I laugh, you cry

 Here we are always alive

 Here you feel no need

 For goodbyes

 Together we lie

"Never Forget"

 NEVER FORGET

  

 Forget

 Did you forget?

 Will you forget?

 Have I been forgotten?

 Forgotten

 Will I be forgotten?

 Will I slip away?

 Will I be forgotten?

  

 Something lost

 Slides from consciousness

 Slips from memory

 Only a distance past

 Vast

 Alone and empty

 Waiting for a path

 Waiting for the past

 Waiting for the future

 Future

 Lies in the past

 Lies in memory

 Fading for eternity

  

 Alone

 Waiting for what was

 Waiting for the next day

 That never came

 Do I wait for you?

 I wait for you

 Do you go on?

 I stay behind

 Do I linger?

 I linger

 Stuck in the past

 Only am I past

 Carry on

 You always carry on

 Left behind

 Waiting for before

   

 Before a change

 All is the same

 Faltered in the past

 Always without change

 Will I wait?

 I always wait

 Don’t forget

 I never forget

"Naked"

 NAKED

 Remove the chains

 See the world through red stained glasses

 Forced upon

 To disguise the truth

 Now the reality it has become

   

 Grass grows beneath you

 Leech the life from inside

 Tenderness, sweetness

 Inconceivable beauty

 Stolen from you

 Let your senses and perception fall from you

 Let your touch guide you

 Let your senses unfold

 Beyond your understanding

 Beyond the truth that is shown to you

 Remove the chains

 Walk naked for me

 Walk past the confines of society

 Show the world what you’re made of

 Don’t let them see what you’re afraid of

 Walk naked for me

 Strip away the lies that cover you

 Cover us all

 Feel the cold harshness of reality

 Whip against your body

 Our bodies

 No longer able to hide

 Where we once did

 Unaware

 No concern for where it might

 Take you

 Take us

 Throw your arms to the wind

 Scream at the sky

 Walk naked for me

 Remove the chains

 Walk naked for me
