Back to the Beginning

Thought it might be a good idea to remember James Beaver back in the day (he's the one in the middle, pshaw, that was a while back!)

James in action

James is an art director for commercials, events and films so in his line of work he has do, find and take care of all manner of things.

This week he sent e a short clip of him wrangling Hermit crabs for one of his gigs:

"James went all the way to Tampa and all he got was the crabs.""

I thought you would want to see him in person so I have included the little clip so you can see the tiniest atom of the Beaver charm

It inspired me to do a little collage of himself as a hermit crab:

Happy Beaver Sundae!

Someone's in the kitchen with Beaver

James always chooses the perfect outfit for every little thing he does

Today he is considering experimenting on some sweet baking, as he just found out about an ingredient, castoreum, in place of vanilla that he should have no problem locating.

It's something that comes from a beaver (this kind):

Yum!

Happy Saturday folks!

Not These James Beavers

If you Google James Beaver you will find some interesting Beavers but THESE are NOT my James Beaver!

"A painter, carver, carpenter, and performer, this James Beaver was a wanderer in the late 19th, early 20th century. Named for Beavers Corners at Six Nations, James came to be known as “Uncle Beaver”, “Chief Beaver”, and “The Indian Juggler”, so-called for his love of juggling. James travelled from place to place, painting pictures, panels for cabinets, murals for walls, and scenery for plays in exchange for room and board or train fare to his next destination."

(I do like the name "Uncle Beaver" and may use this for my James in future)

Of course this is also NOT my James Beaver:

James A. Beaver, chairman of the Board of Trustees 1874-82, 1898-1914.

My James Beaver is not long dead, not that kind of trustee and he is James B. Beaver.  

And finally this guy is deffo not my James Beaver, as he is not even called James Beaver but...

James Jesse Strang, He was known as King of Beaver Island

The King of Beaver Island has a nice ring to it though...hmmm...

If you've forgot what my James Beaver looks like, here you go:
