It has been a while since my last post.


I guess I had better stay with what I started, this blog. Here is a little update as to what I'm doing now. I am still doing sterling silver work and I have also started a few other art/craft projects. The biggest thing now is getting my handcrafted paper project under way. I would like to have a Hollander beater but will probably have to build one myself. That is another whole project. The Hollander will allow me to turn plant fibers and sorted fabric into paper pulp. But for now I will use the food blender and recycled paper method to make my pulp. Later today I am going to make a couple of molds and deckles in sizes to make handmade greeting cards. I hope to soon be adding fabric to my pulp ( the Hollander beater ) will make this easier.


In the mean time , I am also cleaning the pottery studio as winter is setting in fast and I hope to work in there on a few ideas/projects that have been floating around in my head for a couple of years. I guess I'll have to remember to get pictures posted as I go along here just to maybe keep things a little more interesting.


I hope to ad to my blog at least once a week, post some pictures of my projects and maybe-just maybe get some thoughts pulled together so the blog makes some sort of sense. I think I'll just toss a random picture or two of things in my studio or from some of my mountain biking expeditions. Thoughts,comments or suggestions good or bad are always welcome. The picture I have here is just a bunch of my colored pencils at my desk. I now have a 16" X 20" of this photo hanging on my wall and I am also using it as my desktop.
