Print: Mr. Mad Bluebird - full-color 5" x 7" matted, framed & signed by Michael Smith! $66.95 each (mat size 8"x10")	The Story... The Mad Bluebird is a famous picture of a bluebird taken by professional photographer Michael L. Smith in 1979 . Smith, an electrician by trade, is an avid birdwatcher who had spent many years worth of summer nights camping in outdoor conditions suitable for photographing birds. One day he set up a camera on a tripod in his backyard, about fifteen feet away from his fence, and waited inside with a remote-controlled trigger. He waited until he saw the bird facing the camera and then shot the famous picture. To date he has sold at least 128,000 signed copies of his photograph, and the picture has been reproduced on untold thousands more various pieces of merchandise, including throws, coffee mugs, and t-shirts. Smith has said he does not consider the picture to be one of his best. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (link leads you out of J.J. Cardinal site).

Kitras Art Glass Modern Designs for the Home, Garden and Lifestyle creatively created in Canada since 1994 All that is required to make glass is sand, soda ash, pot ash, lime and high heat. History sets the beginning of glass production nearly four thousand years ago in Mesopotamia. The Process of making glass was discovered while potters fused sand and minerals while firing their clay. One clever Mesopotamian managed to form a glass tube and blow a bubble at the end creating the first blowpipe and hence the art of glassblowing. Kitras Art Glass follows in this centuries old tradition, and is continuing the tradition of glassblowing.
