Long Island, NY in early June 2015

I made it out to the ocean this year.

My sister and I drove out to Long Island to visit with family and see the ocean.  Not far from my Aunt's home is Smith Point Beach looking out on the Atlantic Ocean.  It was a brief stay and we took a tour to see the sights from our youth.

Yule Tree Ornaments Soft Fabric 2012

These are some Yule tree ornaments I made for my niece and nephew. Early on I knew that I wanted to make soft toys and soft tree ornaments for them. These are safe and easy for small hands; and the little dog too. Each ornament is made of a small panel of holiday fabric stuffed with polyester fill and a small silky ribbon. They are washable. I made a bunch extra to sell. These ornaments are about 2 inches square.

Hernes Hand Gallery Update 02

Updating my progress in creating my channel for Herne's Hand projects and other cool stuff. I have my blog up, my channel up, and a number of videos up. I have plenty of ideas and items to share. As I proceed, I hope to work out lighting and camera placement, along with better equipment to do close up photography. For larger items I will need another studio corner.

I appreciate everyone who is here at the start of my endeavor. This is a long term project for me and I look forward to feedback and inquiries.
