craft

an activity involving skill in
making things by hand.
~~~~~

I’m not sure just how much skill is involved

in my woodwork creations…

 

…this, however, takes a steadier hand than mine.

This image was captured while visiting the

Colac Wood Crafters Guild

some time ago.

A snake track in Greater

Kruger National Park.

While this (20 cm) snake was dead

in our front yard when the dogs

discovered it.

I was so, so pleased that it was dead.

 

While Astralia  is home to some venomous spiders…

 

..it is simply the thought of these creatures

crawling over me that gives me the shivers.

Not long after we moved from the farm

to our new abode, I opened the front door

one evening and saw a huge spider

climbing up the door frame.

What I did not realised in the half dark

was that it was not such a huge spider as

much as it was an adult carrying the family.

When I brushed it away one spider

became 20 or 30 spiders which had

somehow landed at my bare feet.

Even this one made me jump and it was not

until I realised that the spider had been

covered by a resin by a member of the

Wood Crafter’s Guild whose club

we were visiting, that I relaxed.

care

serious attention or consideration applied to doing
something correctly or to avoid damage or risk.

A great deal of care…

…had been taken smoothing this wood, and…

 

 

…inserting this arachnid into the knot.
