smell the coffee!

The New year has not started off perfect  but I am working hard at making the best of things. New Years day I broke my  ankle and was told  I could stand for more than   2-3  hours a day.  I  like to  be busy and sitting still  is  my version of being a in […]

Got corks?

Coho Computer invited me to turn the shop into a gallery for the Issaquah Wine Walks so thought it would be fun to make something special for the wall. Materials: mirror with frame, clear water proof silicon, caulk gun, and corks of course. Put the mirror on a flat surface, if you are using a table you care […]

Who didn’t want to grow up to be a rock star?

 I remember my guitar, It was red and always out of tune. I used to visit a friend and sit and strum his guitar so for my  11 birthday he bought me one as a gift.I didn’t  get the hang of playing so, I gave it to a neighbor boy who made amazing music. He […]

Saved by the Bell!

Summer time is usually my most  productive  time of year for creating art. This summer in early July I  had a  welding accident. I was working on  getting a  piece finished for a  art show and caught myself on fire. After 7  hours in the  ER I was sent home with third degree burns from […]
