Finally putting my degree to good use!











I'm trying to get back in the scene. I've been in a couple of art festivals this summer and got my website going again. So check me out and pass me around. If your interested in anything contact me because I also do custom work. These are just a few of my favorite peices but click on the link and there are a couple more to browse through. http://jenhaefeli.etsy.com

sweet little tweet...our mother's day visitor...

our trip to the farmer's market was a bit more than we had bargained for, but it taught us a few lessons:

1 - if you find a baby bird, try to put it back in its nest. it is a wives tale that the mother will smell a human scent and discard the baby. 2 - a call to the raptor center and a rehabilitation specialist is imperitive (they always want to help). 3 - don't feed the bird anything, despite their little chirps of hunger. 4 - keep it in a butter tub or something similar, pad it with toilet paper and place it on a heating pad on a low setting. 5 - hope that the little buddy will make it through the night until rescue rehabilitation bird experts can recover it from you.

tweet didn't make it through the night and is now in a birdie grave in our back yard. poor thing. he was so sweet. the next time someone at the farmer's market finds a bird and tries to pawn it off on a kid by claiming that said child can become a hero for rescuing the bird - at least we'll know what to do. we'll also know that the unfortunate reality for even well cared for wild birds is a mortality rate of 50%.


harder... better... stronger... faster!

for those of you daft punks who like a little jig.
