The shop's filling with things that will be taken to the upcoming Garden Expo in Madison and to our wholesale customers with shops around the country. Think bright, citrus-y colors, polka dots, masses of flowers and happy thoughts.

Tom's framed my latest screen painting. I rather like it! I think I'm at the point where prints are in order, though I'll need to figure out the process...I'll keep you posted.

All You Need is Love

LOVE banner done on salvaged ceiling tin. Tis the season.

Blue Skies

Outside there's a blizzard, but in the shop it's warm, colorful and happy! Here's a pic of an engraved sign that I just finished prototyping...did the art last year but ran out of time to finish my work before the show season kicked in. Everyone loves a sun!

It's time to get serious about Spring, even though we're barely into January. I'm taking advantage of a couple days of unusually warm weather for Wisconsin in winter. It was almost 50 degrees today! Warm enough to open the doors, don my mask and leather apron and play on my plasma torch. Here's a pic of some new hearts for Valentine's Day and beyond. I got the opportunity today to trace and cut a nice batch of banners.
