Ellie’s gingerbread village project
I don’t normally post things that we do with the kids for school, but this is so cool I had to share. Ellie had a project that I was supposed to help her with ( there was a lot of glue gun use). She came home with a milk carton, painted, cut and divided in…
Read MoreMixed Media = great fun!
Ever since I began my artistic journey many years ago, I always, always always wanted to try mixed media. It sounded sooooo cool… so mixed…and so media. And I like mixing things. Long story short, I never quite got around to learn how to do it. I had 1-2 not very successful experiments but that…

I often get e-mails asking me how I woodburn and awhile back I came up with the idea to make a series of videos showing what my process of woodburning is. I am glad to say that I finally got to do it. I hope you don’t mind the mess in my studio. 🙂 If…

Over the years ( 6 to be exact), I’ve often talked about publishing my children’s books ( also 6 at the moment) and some of you were even my “Guinea Pigs” as test readers. I’ve received a lot of encouragement and support, a lot of praise, and of course a healthy dose of criticism. Sometimes…
Read MoreTeacher Appreciation or Back-to-School gifts
As a tradition on the first day of school, I send each of my kids’ teachers a “survival kit”. That survival kit includes a woodbuned box with each teacher’s name and some office supplies. During the school year I send additional school supplies from time to time to fill the box again. I think it’s…
