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:

Sick! Just bought the "black lava" skull stake this morning  🤩 John you are a man of many talents! 

Of course, I would still LOVE to win this drawing and have a second Barresi stake. 

Big props to Walt Ellis. Unfortunately I have lost 3 of his beautifully made marble stakes over the years- 2 of them at Kite Party(s). Funny to think I have spent more on kite stakes than some will ever have spent on kites.
