My Burnt Offerings

02/18/2026

Well, I have been doing some thinking and there are some changes that are happening in my life right now.

First, I’m realizing that I just don’t care anymore! I don’t care about your feelings. I don’t care what you think of me. I don’t care if I say the wrong thing anymore. I just don’t care! Nobody cares about anything except themselves. Just get it done, do it the fastest easiest way possible, don’t matter if it is done right or not nobody is going to see it but me. Im going to do it my way! No matter if you don’t have a clue about rocket science, you will still build your own rocket because you can do anything! Get a F$?!ing clue….. ! Im sorry, is this my first sign of, I D G A F?

I have tried different ways to fit in and I have always found that I have to change in order to fit in. I’m not doing it anymore. Like me or don’t, whatever. I’m going to say what I want to say, Im going to do whatever I want to do, and just like everyone else, I don’t care!

I believe that my artwork has reached its potential. I’m no longer going to be burning wood or making any projects under my brand’s name. So maybe one day, the few people that got my artwork will have something worth something.

It was fun while it lasted

So Just a friendly reminder to my Florida friends that are not used to this much cold air. When I was in North Carolina and it got below freezing we had to let our faucets drip overnight. Well then I moved to Florida and letting my faucets drip overnight took on a whole new meaning. Either way you want to do it works for me!

This walking staff is Rooster approved! It’s for my grandson, he told me he wanted PeePaws Lightning and Mushrooms! This is what happened when I set all my good intentions into this for his happiness. Love you Best Buddy!

I told everyone about the bamboo cutting board that I found for my trailer counter top. I have never tried to burn bamboo because it doesn’t absorb water. I have seen it done on the internet, but the way I seen it done didn’t seem safe to me. I tried it my way, and I’m really surprised how it turned out! This might be my next avenue. Check it out!

I just tried something new, and I must say, Im impressed. I picked up a bamboo cutting board and thought I would try my hand at seeing what would happen. 😃 I picked it up because it fits perfectly over my sink and little bit of countertop over to the edge of my stove top. It’s the perfect thing for that space. I did my thing on the back side of the cutting board, that way it is always upside down for display, and flip it over for useable seasoned cutting board. I want to do a clean up and then I will post pictures. This is the before picture of the cutting board in its place.

I know it’s been a while since I have had something to put on here. I’m working on some more jewelry (necklace) displays for a really awesome friend of mine. You should check out her work, amazing talent! Listed below. So her display board is able to hold multiple necklaces in an upright position (36 inches). These pictures are of the rough or first burn, they have not been cleaned and scrubbed with water to clean the char. I will post pictures after the scrubbing and then again after sanding clean up. Hope everyone enjoys.

I have been communicating with Igor of GC-Artis and here is an update so far. I explained to Igor the possibility of “adding” a small area, “bead” to add the numbering. So he told me he was going to try and find a solution. He is also going to get me a certificate of authenticity on the original model, stating that my cane is the original prototype model 001/250. I’m so excited about what’s happening! I will keep everyone posted on good news!
