Sunday

lisa and i had the most wonder-full day...up early had coffee and took the dogs out for a couple of hours...then later we went downtown and just hung out together... walking around and taking pictures...soooooo...here's how our day went...








                                                                

Yesterday Morning

yesterday morning was a good morning...started off slow with a hot cup of coffee...then lisa and i went to the studio to get some work done...so i thought i'd share a few pic's of our day with everyone...i'll also finish with a few small paintings i've hung in the gallery lately...my paintings have never been anywhere but our house so for me to hang them in the gallery for everyone to see is kind-of weird for me...but also something i've always wanted to do...anyway enough talk heres the pictures...






                                                      
thanks for stopping by...hope everyone has a wonder-filled day and we'll catch you later...

New Burnt Stuff

hi guys...i spent some time yesterday working on some new stuff as well as taking  pictures...so i thought i'd share with you guys this morning...i found this big roll of steel wire but it had this kind-of oily uck-ee coating on it...soooooo...i took out the big torch blasted it with some propane & oxygen...cooled it off and wa la... no more oily uck-ee wire...

                                
so then i started bending and soldering some of the wire...and making some steel jewelry...are what i call jewelry...for me it was kind-of burning man...thunder dome inspired...so check some of it out and please let me know what you think...let me REALLY know what you think...none of this being nice just to be nice stuff...i want to know...what you think...so here goes...



                                      
i love working with this wire i found...and god knows with the cost of silver going up like gas...we need to look at some other choices...anyway this is some of what i did yesterday...i also worked on a mixed media painting...which is something i love to do but have never took the time to do much painting...but times are changing for me...hey theres a huge creative world out there and i want to move forward...and dive in...soooooo...not only will i burn stuff...i'll also paint stuff...build stuff...find suff and make stuff with what i find...like i did with the steel wire...and i'm having fun along the way...so join in...tell me what you think...let's do some projects together are something...share some of what you are doing with me...lets have some fun...ok i'm off to work on some painting and some wire hammering and soldering today...i'll take some pictures and share some of that stuff with ya'll soon...so let's get off the computer...and get to work...now...
