Garlic has been used throughout recorded history for both culinary and medicinal purposes.
It has a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.
We all know the strong aroma of “garlic”…
Well, this sweet and exotic flower is part of it…
In Europe, many cultures have used garlic for protection or white magic,
perhaps owing to its reputation as a potent preventative medicine.
More to come…
My neighbor Zelma presented me a few months ago,
with some sprouting garlic plants.
They grew and grew, and then one day they bloomed!
They do remind me of birds, similar to my "Leek Bird" scenario.
Here they are in a vase, next to my map painting.

So our situation is not tasting as sweet…
Sour, sweet, bitter, pungent, all must be tasted. Chinese proverb

I suppose any note, no matter how sour, sounds like a song if you hold onto it long enough.

Upon corresponding (via e-mail) with Walter Logeman about featuring him on my
blog he requested if I could make him a web-eStamp from one of his
pieces, preferably a circle piece. I went and reviewed the 1000 Sketches! to see the circles:
There’s a Thousand Sketches Video for easy viewing of the sketches! click here…

…and when I saw these wonderful drawings of "Little" (nice name),
she had to come on in and take her place on this blog.

Also I think this would be a very nice way to portray a dear pet…
…on a custom web-eStamp! Contact me if you are interested.
