The yellow to orange colors (and blue rectangle) are the parcels.

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.)

Seeder Cross

Either, my grandfather or great grandfather made this tool (or what was a tool).
It was used for planting seeds. It had two handles (which I removed).
I wish I would have taken a picture of what the tool looked like originally (before I transformed it). The metal box dispensed the seeds as the handles were pulled apart.
I almost sent the tool to Goodwill. Good will I didn't! Last minute folk art thinkin' and tinkerin', turned the seeder into this cool func art.











Jhn 12:24-25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn a wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.



Jhn 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
