Good relations with the Wookiees, I have.
Last year, I promised the first five people who responded to a facebook/twitter post a free handcrafted gift from me... just 'cause.
My friend, Oscar, asked for a Star Wars apron.
I could not find suitable Star Wars fabric to make an apron from, but I did find a fabric panel that had Yoda on it.
I made the apron from beige twill and used the Yoda fabric panel for the pocket. Of course, I embroidered Oscar's name on it, as well.
Oscar, may the force be with you!
Some favorite Yoda quotes (from thinkexist.com):
“Good relations with the Wookiees, I have.”
“Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they."
“Happens to every guy sometimes this does”
"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."

Great work! I'm really glad I came across your blog! It's always a pleasure to meet like-minded people! Do you use zazzle.com? If not you should try - it could be a good promotion for your works too, and a way to "remove" stupidity in the streets, like headlines on t-shirts: My Boyfriend Kisses Better Than Yours, or FBI - female body inspector... I guess it will be much better if there are good thoughts on t-shirts, nice pictures of mythical creatures, etc? I'm allanbard there, you'll see what I mean ;) I use some of my illusrtations from my books and thoughts like One can fight money only with money, Even in the hottest fire there's a bit of water, or some of my poems:
ReplyDeleteLove and happiness will be around,
as all the chains will disappear,
and Mountaineers will climb their mount
and there won't be any tear! my Tale Of the Rock Pieces.
Best wishes! Let the wonderful noise of the sea always sounds ijn your ears! (a greeting of the water dragons'hunters).
