My humble gift offering, a message, a request

For those of you that have me on social media or know me well enough to correspond with me regularly you know it has not been a good holiday season for the kids and I yet the sun continues to rise and they and I will persevere through adversity. I endure and continue and so will they.



However in my grief and my grieving process will be long I fear , I do not have the concentration to design so am unable to deliver the gift originally planned for you. It may still be some months before I have the focus for 3D work. I am much like a child learning my new changed world and adapting/adjusting to an unseen but ever present void.

And like a child who needs to be creative and needing to fill my time with activity I have been coloring which brings me to your gift:



Click on the link in my signature and open the folder in my Google Drive named "Christmas 2014"

Inside you will find my collection of Barnacle Press automata from the 1920s-1930s colored and ready to print. 42 one page kits.



And now the request: Do not thank me for these. Instead simply let your loved ones know

they are truly loved and appreciated for the universe is unpredictable and our time is brief.



Merry Christmas to all and let your hearts and lives be filled with peace and joy,

-Rick-
