50 on 50th Preparations Continue

Hi everyone. One thing that's really fun about getting ready for the 50 on 50th show (Sat Nov 7th- at Burrough's School in S. Minneapolis) is making things that are kind of outside my normal scope.

I almost always have some kind of jewelry available so people have an affordable option to the metal sculptures. This time I'll have the steel pendants and earrings I've had before, but also a new "line" of sorts. In my head it's called "Fast Machine."

It's inspired by Steampunk, the passion I've developed for mountain biking over the last year (going fast through the woods on two wheels- a combination of mechanization and nature), birds, and the colorful palette of fall.

I'm also working like mad on leaping deer, sprinting cats wearing antlers on their heads (they like to pretend they are deer), and small wall pieces. -- Oh, and of course many more trees.

Mark your calendars. I'd love to see you there!
