Art for Our Son's Wedding!

Our son Josh and daughter-in-law Ruthie were married Saturday July 11th.  With my being an artist, they wanted to have personalized, original artwork incorporated into their wedding.  We thought a bookmark for every guest as a gift, along with the wedding program would be a wonderful fit.

The original was painted and then was reproduced:

Then the image was cropped, reproduced and cut into strips for bookmarks:

Here we have the laminating and cutting process of the 250 being made:

Now the cut & hole punched bookmarks need embellishment...

All decorated, boxed up and ready to go to the wedding!

Alongside the original painting are examples of the bookmark favor, thank you notes and wedding program.

It was a wonderful day and I was honored to use my art to bless Josh, Ruthie and all the dear friends and relatives who attended!



It's 95 degrees here in Idaho, thinking cool....

    Flash back to when it was about 25 degrees outside!  I had my kiln delivered in the winter of 2012, and here are some snapshots of it making its way down the hill to the studio.  We used an ancient technique of rolling the heavy object over wood logs...ok, maybe we used PVC pipe instead.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
My family says if we ever move, it stays with the house!  But...doesn't the cold look so refreshing right now?


Here are some samples of kiln fired steel hanging sculpture:
