Well after a weekend of photos and just having fun I thought I'd bring another one to the table
for you... This one is by Amy Doran who besides being "Connors Mom" and "Charlie" is in
herself one of the up and coming designer and kite maker in the world..... Amy calls this one
"SkEyes" and with it having the feathers that attach to the ends I just had to fly it (sorry Amy)
and it flew smooth and made a very,very, nice sky statement..... So here it is "SkEyes" by one
of the best ladies of kiting and my dear friend, Amy Doran..... Ben

Very nice work Amy! A lovely addition to your already impressive array of kites. Guess staying home for a few extra weekends this summer worked out for the best!

P.S. I love the feathers!

Jose is a master builder for sure from right here in San Diego, his single line kites always
bring a smile to my face and his new Rev "Tribal" really brought a smile to my face..... So
as always thank you Jose and smooth winds my friend.... Ben

I think the "Like" button is in your wallet . . ;-)

Truly awesome stuff the builders are bringing to the contest! Amazing, all of them! Hard to say which is my favorite so far.

this is called Arrival

[SkyPuppet]

I really like the SkEyes kite! I'm also diggin the feathers... I'd like a pair of them to match my 'Pros....

Ron's kite is also amazing - I love the bird theme and the colors are intense.
How about calling it "Westward Migration"? Or how about naming it "What The Flock"

in those days I had to get an estimate before a haircut

Wow. Wow wow wow. Another gorgeous kite from Ron. Beautiful work my friend. The eyes are mesmerizing.

Seriously, the level of this competition is amazing. Nice work all!

Awwwww to be young again..... Ben

[makatakam]

I'm heading out to rob thebank in one minute!!! Then I can have them all.

[RevWizard]

I guess I should start thinking about either making my own photos of all of these or bumming them from Ben to place in the Revolution Historical Web Site.

Can't wait to see all the entries up in a single gallery.

I should have kept my mouth shut.

Any idea if these will make an appearance at WSIKF? It might enhance the bidding when people see them in person, as well as get non forum members in on the fun.... ;-)
