i Heart you - Heart Bead This heart bead was inspired by the Tickers that Derick at Derby City Blades has been doing. They’re super cool – definitely check his work. I’d tried my hand at a couple hearts and they were big and clunky. This somewhat leveled up bead features 1/8″ copper sheet surrounded by G10 and beautiful… Read More »i Heart you

The piece featured here is really the only piece I’ve completed in this style (thus far) and is the 1st time I made art & had to build something. Completed around 2010. Up… Read More »Building a piece of art- New Page Anchors coming up for that super stylish Bookworm vibe - Got a handful of Page Anchors glued up yesterday. They’re about dry and it’s back on the grind!! I’ve been a bit off my rhythm with regard to regularly cranking through pieces and keeping each phase stacked – design, prep, glue up, rough grinds, hand sand & finish grind. There are plenty of pieces in… Read More »New Page Anchors coming up for that super stylish Bookworm vibe
