Dad's Cat Woman Carved Wood

Woman still in the works

I need a new camera!

This piece is almost as tall as me

Cat Woman- My camera is on the way out so I didn't take many photos and they are blurry.

On my last trip to my little house in TN, I decided to take a few photos of some of my dad's wood carvings. These are hand carved from fallen trees that he finds. They are both still in the works. One is a "cat women" of some sort. They are extremely smooth to the touch. He is very talented. This one has hooves for feet. Again, my camera was not cooperating.

Can You See All of My Scars?

Click to enlarge

This a little sketch that I scanned from my journal- a self portrait of what I see when I look in the mirror. You may or may not know that I was in a fatal car accident when I was 16 years old. I died twice and my nose, sinuses, cheek bone and right eye socket was crushed. I was left with scar number 1, 4 & five, severe sinus problems, and one eye larger than the other in appearance. Luckily the plastic surgeons did a good job. Although my right cheek bone feels numb at times, and I suffer from headaches frequently. I received scar #2 when my cousin- Kelly pushed me down a flight of stairs. Scar number 3 happened one summer night when I was playing hide and seek catch with the neighborhood kids. One boy, Javier, thought it would be a good idea to drop a spear from the second floor back porch while calling my name. As I looked up the spear hit me just below my right eye. Such a surprise considering I didn't see it coming in the dark. Thank God it missed my eye. I got scar number 6 at the age somewhere around 3 years old when I was leaning against the back of my Uncle Sherman chair and it fell backwards. I can't recall where scar number seven came from.

All of these scars are somewhat faded and may be hard to see unless I point them out. Of course the eyes, I can do nothing about. But the scars that really hurt are the scars on the inside...the ones that no one can see. The ones that I carry around deep inside. Little nicks and cuts that have shaped me and are a part of me. Those are the scars that cannot be seen. They are a part of me...
