Final resting place

It took a couple months, but my "placed to rest" (Bench from the MFA show) has finally been installed in a final resting place.

And, I am working on a new piece of furniture (a cement chaise) and looking for a space to install it. This will end up weighing much more (approximately 4-5 hundred pounds) so it will need to be completed "on site".

Polaroids still going BIG!

The Wall Street Journal recently published this article about a new company producing Polaroids. Only one catch, they only produce 20x24 materials.

Joseph Church

I cant seem to get this image by Joseph Church out of my mind since I saw it at The opening for the Rockford Midwestern. He received the best in show award.

Read the daily Herald?

If you read the west suburban Daily herald, make sure not to miss my hansom face on the front page of the neighbor section today! Mary Jekielek Insprucker published a great piece on a show in the Bartlett Historical Society that I have some work in.
