Regular followers of my blog will be used to seeing my roasting room, it's been another busy day for me 5 different coffee's to roast - 5 roasts 25 kilos - oh plus a special one off 1kg - tricky one that. But also I was super excited because something special arrived, I needed a picture frame for it though - not something you find in a business warehouse. I knew there was one kicking around somewhere, and found it with a good 20 years of dust and grot on it - but with the aid of the industrial vacuum I use for cleaning the roaster chaff collector (when you roast coffee a skin comes off it like tiny bits of parchment - the roaster has a collector for this - you need to clean it very well because it will burn if left to accumulate) and a wipe down for cloths. It's not a pretty frame, and won't do my exciting new addition to the roasting room true justice - but for now it will have to do.
If you did not notice it in the first picture, this should give you a better idea - this wonderful frog sheltering from rain under a flower is called "Hideaway" - what makes it really special though is this artwork is a unique piece from an incredibly talented artist I discovered quite by chance here on Steemit. I was browsing the new tab and chanced on a quite alluring introduction post https://steemit.com/introduseyourself/@bridget.art/hi-steemit it was quite inspirational to find someone who was working hard to get by - but not enjoying the work and really only wanted to do one thing - focus on creating Art - something they enjoy. Taking a brave move to leave a regular wage paid job, and try to go it alone selling your own product is a gamble - but I had to admire @bridget.art spirit for going alone and following her dreams. I was hooked and have followed Bridget's posts on Steemit ever since - every single one filled with truly quite incredible art.
One of her posts which really struck a cord with me was https://steemit.com/art/@bridget.art/hideaway-colored-pencil-drawing - this frog picture is just so special, and it reminds me of the Rainforest Alliance frog - a certification many coffee plantations try to achieve - it shows they use methods that encourage Biodiversity - interplanting crops, using hedgerows to promote greater wildlife - making the plantations a haven for wildlife instead of using chemicals to suppress it. I really loved this picture, and as I followed @bridget.art blog I found more recent posts had a link to Redbubble where you could purchase pieces of her work - https://www.redbubble.com/people/bridgetart/shop - browsing through I found this wonderful frog was available from her collection - perfect I wasted no time in ordering it.
And here I am, roasting coffee takes a good 15 minutes per 5kg batch, so I had plenty of time while roasting to fit my lovely frog art in it's antique frame. Pride of place next to my coffee roaster, alongside the advertising material for the coffee roaster itself (because I sell the roasting machines from Turkey as well as the coffee I roast in them!) this picture will remind me of Steemit - because I discovered @bridget.art here, also it will inspire me to work harder at my roasting - getting the absolute best from my coffee - because @bridget.art excels in her art - every one is a detailed wonder taking so much time and care - I honestly sometimes am quite amazed at the quality of detail the art in her posts have, if you have not seen any of her other work you really should go through her blog - just stunning.
And a bigger shot of my roaster, my art and me fiddling with the Apple watch camera app - the only way I can take long range phone selfies - I could do with one of these reviewed by @bobbell69
I quite often have people come to see me roast coffee, they are potential purchasers of the roaster and it is a big investment so seeing it working can be very important. This picture will no doubt become a talking point, discovered on Steemit the cryptocurrency blogging site, an Artist from Slovakia and I was able to purchase a print of her work - printed and shipped from America to the UK. Amazing, if you do manage to check out @bridget.art work and leave her a comment - make sure you also say @c0ff33a sent you and says thank you so much for the wonderful frog 🐸

hmmm! really nice. you gat talents
It's @bridget.art who has the talent, but I appreciate you taking the time to look at my blog and comment.
OH-MYGOD! You just did not...!
I just knew you did bought the print but I wasn't sure!:D
Ohmygod! I'm so happy you like THIS MUCH my art..Thank you so so much for all the love you show all the time! Like... You really inspire me to create more and more! You really do!
Thank you so SO much, I can not say this enough! ❤
😘 I thought I would have to drop a subtle link to this in one of my replies to your own posts, but looks like you found my post before I had to! I was so excited waiting for your wonderful frog print to arrive from Redbubble in America and planning this post - such good luck it arrived on one of my coffee roasting days so I had time while roasting to frame it. Although I do apologise for using an antique frame - and the lovely frog picture is slightly wonky because my Monsoon Malabar roast was nearly done while I was positioning it - and I can't let that wonderful coffee get overcooked and loose the flavour! Anyway, I hope more people on Steemit get to enjoy your wonderful art - it's far too good for me to keep to myself! ☺️
While reading your excellent post - everything I had in mind is Coffee Coffee Coffee
That's my life every day, coffee, coffee and more coffee. Thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment, you have reminded me I am behind on your own blog posts!

That's nice to know my friend. How's the winter now in UK? All set for Christmas?

you are very welcome brother. I followed you when I read you article about arabic coffee. dear friend I had a look on that artist profile and found that she was asking for a help how withdraw her earnings. she is from slovakia and I don't know how things and bakns are doing there.
so I shared with her some europiens groups which are on disored. maybe they will help er. but it seems she stil doesn't understand how to cash out her earnings; please help her. this is her post.
https://steemit.com/help/@bridget.art/i-need-a-little-help
That’s a really great post Robert and that is a very nice piece of art too. She has indeed taken a huge step to go out on your own like that. Just out of curiosity is that my video nestled between two photographs of you and a coffee roasting machine. Thank you very much for that. Catch you in the weekend vlogs buddy.
Thanks Bob, yes it is your video because I would take much better wide angle selfies with that mount instead of trying to use my watch to take the picture!
Maybe we can keep working on him... He really needs to be part of this site.
we r brothers,we can work together, I like ur post,so,I will help u and u help me @alaminbappy

@maruharraca you always take time to comment on my posts and I truly appreciate it, @bridget.art is truly an incredible talent and I admire so much she is following her dream. Thank you for the kind words about my little roasting area, it's still a work in progress and I put it all together - including the coffee roaster extraction system (The 120mm hole through the wall for the pipework took a great deal of drilling and hammering!)
I truly appreciate your daily support my dear friend @c0ff33a! Thanks again!

Very cool of you to support her!
wooo posting very for me buddy
That's such a cool connection you made between @bridget.art's piece, why she made it and why you got it :) Hopefully some day I'll get a chance to try one of your roasts, hehe.
