A Few New Projects....

A cute little bracket for a granite back splash that's going up to the family cabin; I couldn't resist adding a few gears & old steel wheels....



the beginnings of the Boise Curb Cup; check out the details for this cool event in August at www.boisecurbcup.com



The beginnings of signs for a cute little boutique in downtown Boise; RE Boutique; check them out in BoDo....






And the beginnings of the AGC donor wall for the new Idaho Headquarters building; I'm creating a huge wall installation of mixed metals & construction-related objects for the entrance to the building. This one is going to be fun; lots of different metals & found objects, & the whole thing will hang in front of a huge concrete background...can't wait!

It's getting busy again; better get to work!
