Ode to Men

My husband, my brothers, my father - the most important men in my life. They all have something in common: they can make marvelous things if they want.

My husband is a teacher (teaches boys' handcraft, I don't know the right term in English). Some of his own work: here (the page is still a bit incomplete as I'm not a IT-specialist ;) ). A collection of pupils' work is on Flickr, but we don't remember his yahoo-account (if you know what to do on that occasion, let me know, please. My husband also has a blog in Estonian. About a year ago he tried a bit beading and wiring:



I have two elder brothers. The younger one made the best looking bunny to my son. My son already had a bunny, which he had for Christmas. They look good together, don't they?

The older brother visited m. some time ago and he too tried beading and wiring a bit.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of my father's handcraft and at the moment there's nothing to take picture of. I remember brightly how lovely was a wallet he made to my mother, sadly it was lost a very long time ago. But I can say that he too is not afraid to do something with his own hands.

So men don't just cook well ;)
