Flip Camera disappearance

I am so saddened to learn that the Flip camera division of Cisco is going away.
I just love my Flip Video cameras!
I still carry one with me daily.. whether or not I am making a Daily Flip Video.
Even when I purchase a new pocketbook... I  always makes sure there's an outside pocket for that great little camera.
So sad.

Videos of Small Spaces and Huge 60 ft Painting

After 77 consecutive days of daily videos in the fall...
(See the TOP 10 ) I moved on to a series of small pieces... 5 x 7.. layered artworks.
and then to the hugest piece I've ever attempted. a 60 feet x 6 ft acrylic painting.

Here are the two videos for these two art projects
small spaces:
