Canada and Croatia egg

Its another set of red and blue eggs only with a flag theme this time. The Canada and Croatia egg. 
I decided to create an egg which reflected my birth country Canada while the Croatian egg was based on where my parents came from. So it was only fitting to make these. If this proved interesting to other people other then me I may consider making other flag versions next year when there are more plaster eggs being sold in the stores.  Hope you like them.  :)

Croation mandolin

Here is my latest vector illustration. This is a traditional musical interment used by my ancestors from the old country for ceremonies, celebrations and traditional folk dances. The dances and costumes that adults and children wear are quite a beautiful site to experience. I even participated for awhile when I was in grade school. The dances had quite complicated foot work for a circle dance.

Venison stew

Another fixed pic. I definitely know something about this pic since I was there in 1985 enjoying some of that venison. It was on a traditional farm in Croatia some time in late August. The place had no electricity and even had an outhouse complete with smell. LOL the whole place was on the top of a hill near a vineyard and was full of stinging nettles. Ouch! I was going on to grade 6 at the time so I had to have been either 11 or 12 at the time. But oh that stew was so darn good.
