Yes, mine just went to JH today and I can just see him on the bus going to K just yesterday. sob sob.
I took him to school all through elementary school and now I feel like an empty nester almost. sob sob.

Time flies.

I gave my chicks a piece of watermelon this morning, and they wanted nothing to do with it. Here I thought it was supposed to be a favorite treat.

(And yes, it had a Hermiston sticker on it! Haha)

CR, I saw a bell like yours for sale at a gallery in Florence OR and they are going for $375. Its a tad bigger, with stainless steel cutouts welded on instead of cut out like the ones you have.
Designs were more on the ZEN side. Target market is more the YOGA/ZEN folks. Have you thought of distributing your bells via the seattle gift shops like Fireworks? Or doing the Bellevue arts show in the summer or the slamon days in Issaquah or the Fremont Arts festival? Places like that? I think if y ou target the higher income demographics you can sell it for a lot more. Just a thought.

The outside was powder coated. The lines were very clean. Looks like the entire bell was powder coated, then the stainless steel bird was buffed to reveal the steel.

I'm wondering how the metal applique would effect the function of the bell; that's the kind of think that can keep the metal from actually ringing!

Ya sure? Seems to be an echo in here...

Alex started his second year of Middle School last week. I thought maybe I should take some photos and put them in the family album. I opened the album - last time I updated it, he was getting on the bus first day of school in second grade! I give up.
