Sheep

"Who has bells and could you show me what a good bell and collar look like? Who would you like to see have a bell? :)" I originally purchased three bells from Premier1. Mine are the Swiss Bells. I didn't feel comfortable using their nylon collars in case they got it caught on something, so picked out simple leather (breakable) dog collars from Tractor Supply. I knew right off who two of the "lucky" bell wearing sheep would be, for two completely different reasons. The third bell? Well, I thought maybe Annabelly would like to be special...but NO! Rebecca Boone was my next choice, and while she was okay with it, three bells was a bit much. Two is pretty. Three is noise. "I have to wear this stupid bell because they said since I aggravate them all the time, it was my turn to get aggravated. Whatever. Now they use it to track my every move. They say they are amazed at how much I eat, where I eat, how late at night I go out and eat... "The collar is the worst. They use it to drag me all over the place. "Stand over here, Graham. Get out of the feed room, Graham. Stop trying to knock the ladder over, Graham..."" "Whatever." "I get to wear this pretty bell because I'm special. I like bling. One time I got to wear flowers in my hair to get my picture taken. It was awesome. You can't really see my bell because I have so much pretty wool. My wool is almost the same color as my bell and I think it would be cool if someone used my wool to make a cardigan sweater and put brass buttons on it." Interestingly, as soon as I put the bell on Petunia, something changed with her. Before that she'd always just been part of the flock. She was one of those sheep that never caused any trouble or did anything to stand apart from the rest and if you didn't think to initiate contact with her, you might never know how neat she was. As Elizabeth has aged, I've wondered who would take her place as the flock matriarch. Petunia never crossed my mind. The bell changed that. With a calm grace that is Petunia, she assumed the duty. Assumed is probably the best word. There was no question, no power struggle. She just stepped up to the plate and is now the leader of the flock.

This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features tress sitting under the night sky. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting."}},"base-catalog-312923300":{"__typename":"BaseProduct Artist: Mary Miller Veazie Subject: seasonal Style: traditional Product type: gallery-wrapped canvas art
