I found the cutest little wooden acorns and decided to try out the wood burning tool that I have had forever and never used. This was the result. Aren't they fun? I burned decorations into the caps and then dyed them with ink. They each measure 1-1/32" x 1-3/8".
For our day in port at Cannes, Mike and I began by hiking up to Musée de la Castre -- once a hilltop fortress and now a museum at the heart of Cannes' Le Suquet district.
The museum's collections are grouped by themes, including a collection of Musical Instruments from around the world housed in a Romanesque Chapel.
Here, you can see a variety of wind instruments, including flutes and trumpets. A few details on these instruments according to their placards (descriptions are listed top to bottom, and left to right), and an overview of the museum's musical instrument collection as outlined in the museum's brochure:

Collection of Musical Instruments
The Musée de la Castre's collection of world musical instruments numbers over 400 exhibits and is one of the largest in the French museums. It is made up of several collections assembles by 19th century travelers, such as Edmond Ginoux de La Coche (1811-1870).
The instruments from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and America are displayed in accordance with a classification system that divides them into four major categories according to the instrument's source of vibration. The chapel thus presents:
the aerophones, in which it is air that vibrates (flutes, trumpets, etc.);
the idiophones, whose sound is produced by the instrument's very material (bells, gongs, cymbals, etc.);
the membranophones, whose vibrating element is a membrane (drums); and
the chordophones, whose stretched strings vibrate when they are plucked, struck, or rubbed (bow, fiddle, zither, sarangi, etc.).
Initially the hummingbird and the flowers were two different projects but I decided to marry them together as the bird looked lost on it's own.

Pyrography on wood. Wood burning, pyrography sounds so much cooler.
This is a nude in progress. It's a bit muddled at the moment, but it should shape up nicely when once I've finished the hair and worked out some contrast issues.
