The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Wire frame sounds good. Do you have any chicken wire or hardware cloth to serve as a more secure armature? If not, I guess suspending brown paper around the frame would work. He can color the brown paper with some crayons, markers or colored pencils to get the variations in color on the wings, etc. I'm assuming he's already found a pretty good color drawing of the hawk so he can just copy that.

We have red tail hawks fly through our backyard from time to time. They sure are pretty!

I do have some plastic chicken wire I used for the 'mater trellis. Good idea.

It'd have to be express mail :~D

I supposed shooting one and propping it up is ~out~

What about finding a lean looking rooster and paint it?

True...

Here's hoping they pick good stuff. Taylor in particular has a history of picking songs he doesn't seem to know what to do with. Frustrating...I really like his voice when he's happy with a song and really into it.

Taylor could do Eagles, though, I bet! Hope he picks something good.

I was the sort of homeschooler who asked to write extra essays instead of doing crafty stuff so I don't have any suggestions for you... what I'd have done was buy a model hawk from some nature store, cover it in a thin layer of paper-mache, and then repaint it.
