The art center where I had my last works displayed commissioned my aunt and I to make a cigarette butt holder and this is what we came up with.  We delivered it today.




We didn't come up with a name for it - any ideas??
Let me know what you think.  

They are at a local art center waiting to go home with someone I hope!  They are all made with free found and scrap metal.







Someone bought this one!  

I have four other things on display there but they are not yard appropriate  

The pockets in my favorite jeans have ripped out on the side where it meets the jean. Is there any way to replace pockets in jeans?

I have 8 of my works on display at a local art center and I thought I'd post them here for you all to see.   Let me know what you think.

I have recently started welding and this is one of my first welded pieces.

My son and I made this last night.  It was our first multi colored stencil.

I have no idea if this thing is going to work but I sure hope it does!  It is 24"x30" and has four 2 foot bulbs and 1 red darkroom bulb. I could have used a yellow bug light instead of the red.  The reason I put the red bulb in is because I had the space and thought it would work out well when I wanted to see in a light safe area.  The four 2 foot bulbs should be unfiltered black light bulbs because they have the most uv light.  I used grow light because I read they have almost as much uv, cost $12 less each, and I didn't have to order them.  Wish me luck that it works!

I made this last week.  The most expensive part are the $25 hinges.  For the rest I just used stuff I already had.  I haven't used it yet and when you look the screen is backward, but I just put it there to show how it works.  Right now I am in the process of  building an exposure table and some bigger screens. At some point I will be building a 4 color press.  I'll post pics when I'm done.

My son is a soccer player and we take our puppy Zeus with us to watch him so I made him a shirt that he could wear to the games to show his support.

My son(12) and I went to a music and art festival over the weekend and saw the Squirrel Nut Zippers.  We wanted to make a shirt that he could wear.  We used the method here http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=156073.0  It was a fun show and afterward we hung out to see if we could get some signatures on his home made shirt and woo hoo we did.  They all really liked the shirt and were happy to sign it.
