snowmen. Or, snow-women. I can't really tell the difference.
During the dark, cold winter months, my adorable snowpeople keep me happy. But like all things winter, they are stored away for most of the year.
my specialty is objects made from stone, metal and glass (all at once or one at a time) --- mostly because i make original artworks from bits and pieces of old metal, glass and stone things.
my uncle is a specialist in philately and postcards and has been branching into coin and paper currency.
one friend specializes in anything music --- from sheets to media players to instruments.
another deals in die cast cars --- especially hot wheels and matchbox
