Custom Twitter Bird

The other night my son and I worked on a custom Twitter bird to link to my new Twitter account, and he has done an excellent job of working out what I wanted. It is really easy for me to visualise what I want, but describing it to someone else is a very different story, and I can’t even draw it. Sigh! I wish that I had studied harder during art class, but between my brain and my hand there really does seem to be a breakdown in communication. I’m so glad that my son takes after his great-nanna, and his art skills and design skills are excellent.

If you click on my Twitter bird icon in the sidebar, it will take you to my brand new Twitter account – technology, don’t you just love it?

Isn’t this Twitter bird just the cutest? Don’t you just love his spiky hair and the headphones?

Homeschooling – Think Outside the Box

My son and I had a discussion last night about designing logos, and I thought about it, and this is what I came up with. The concept was mine, but my son had to execute the designing of the logo, and it took him about an hour. I think that I might adopt it as my logo.

I need much more practice with Photoshop before I can design something like this, but I’m going to keep trying – after all, Michelangelo didn’t become as great as he was without practice, either.

Design and Technology

Because we have such severe frosts here, our tomato seedlings wear “hats” at night, and my son devised a rather ingenious way of making it easier and quicker to install their “hats” each night, so that they don’t get lost.

Here are some more of our new chickens that hatched on Sunday, and as with all of the rest, the Mum is a bantam hen. After all, they do make the best Mums! The photo on the right is the bean bed, or what we hope is going to be the bean bed one day, and there are going to be corn, broccoli and lettuces planted nearby. We pray that God will grant the increase!
