Ketchup & Mustard


The top left is me as a kid (in my Grandpa's truck).
The bottom right is me about 18 years later.
The kids are in my bro-in-law's truck another 18 or so years later.

Need Wine Corks

I am building a wine cork end table (similar to my palm trunk end table, see link below).
I have the first two layers built.


(The bubbly stuff is dry Gorilla glue (love it)).

Prototype: Bamboo Butterfly Birdhouse (License Plate Roof)

Crafted circa 2010.
Inspired by my mother-in-law's ultra-hip mid-century-modern William Krisel butterfly dwelling in P.S.

Coral Coil Sledge

The coral is from Spain.
The sledge is from the Plain.
The rod was coiled painstakingly.

(We lived in Cadiz for 3 years.
The sledge was wielded by my Grandpa.
The fusion of the two was by Hugh.)
