Dear Kite Friends
.:: Happy New
Year ::.
I would
like to take this opportunity and wish you all a great 2006
with many usable flying days spent in the company of good
friends.
I hear all the time about new
years resolutions, I just don't get it. Why do people wait until
the first of January to make big changes in their lives? I suppose
it is a good excuse or rather poor excuse for the days they were
meant to do something about their health issues they are
unhappy about and should have really done something about it ages
ago.
Sure, I need to loose some
weight and probably should stop smoking as it is becoming very
un-PC to do so, but I will do these things when I am ready in my
own time and not because it just happens to be the first day
of a new year. So I have decided not to have
any resolutions in terms of my health but instead to resolve a
series of problems in regards to old and new designs.
2006 is shaping up to be a good year already with
plans to visit five overseas festivals and at least release four
new designs and fix some of the old ones I mentioned
earlier.
My
first priority in terms of my hobby is to have a
set of plans for you all to enjoy as many of you have been asking
for some Idol plans. I hope to have these ready for download at
the end of January or early February. Please keep an eye out for
this at my site. I will release a newsletter in the beginning of
February to keep you all informed.
.:: Idol Workshop ::.
For those who did not already know this, I held an Idol making workshop last October. The aim was to make a Moorish Idol, one of
my recent pieces of line art. The class was restricted to ten participants. In hindsight that was a good decision as I was kept
very busy indeed. A full report plus images can be viewed at my site. [Click Here]
