Goats Discover Coffee Altar

An art altar I just finished which pays respect to the honorable goat and his role in the discovery of coffee. You may need to refer back to the post done on Jan. 8 of this year about Kaldi and his frisky goats. I'm waiting on the glue to clear up on the beans before listing it for sale. I might miss this one a little since I do some hard core coffee worship each morning.

Goats Discover Coffee

There is a legend that an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi noticed his goats were in an unusually frisky and spirited mood after they grazed on a bush of coffee berries (each coffee berry contains two beans). Kaldi, in his boredom, decided to try the magic berries himself and then danced the afternoon away with his goats. He became a fan, of course, and spread the word about the energizing effect of the red berry. The first coffee clutch began.
Notice the nosey voyeur in the picture who can't resist joining the fun. A nice coffee bar in Atlanta (Decatur-W. Ponce de Leon), named in honor of this legend, Dancing Goats. Great coffee, great bakery, and lots of nice art. Give it a try if you are ever near as it is a good one.

This coffee cup with the handsome goat is from Zazzle.com. You can drink and pay homage to the one who made it all possible.

Altar to St. Caffeine

This is a altar I made from recycled items in honor of St. Caffeine. This one sold, but I am working on a few more due to requests. Also in the works, altar to the honorable goat.

Start me up.
