There has been a real shortage of nice ground stakes (at least in the US) since Walt Ellis stopped making his marble stakes - the two in this drawing are from my recent journey learning about making art stakes - they're not 100% perfect, but they are pretty and have my energy in them. Here are are some of the others I've made so far: (playlist - let it play through) https://kiteforge.com/product/kite-stake-skull/

Newest members! 1764 - @flyinghigh5280 1765 - @Dan H Current subscriber count, 358**. ** I've just started a gradual audit for subscriptions that are actually expired but had never been removed from the master list so you will see the total number of subscribers dropping pretty dramatically from time to time as we go through another batch (it's a bit painstaking). However, NOTE, any time we draw a winner the subscription drawn is checked via our PayPal and credit card processing list to be sure they're active so only eligible folks are in the running - its totally fair. Thanks to all as always for your support past and present, it does make a difference and helps us keep the entire KiteLife website up and running for all to enjoy.
