A little slow on the uptake, but "On the Ledge" has been installed - the second of my creations up north. I now have a piece anchoring both ends of the park. Beautiful place.... Elk Rapids Day Park. If you are up vacationing visit the park and peek at my sculptures, of coarse.
My weekend working with Dan (Black Iron Forge) and Derrick Bliss (Hot Fire Forge) on a custom made exterior railing. Don't try this at home.
Measured a set of interior railings with a handrail last night. Replacing the dated wood with custom iron that is going to enhance this beautiful contemporary house. Stay tuned...
Well, the jobs are trickling in from our presence at the Lansing Home & Garden show. Handrails... straight and curved, simple and beautiful. Other leads are developing too, so stay tuned.

Lots of social media action around the trophies I made for the CATA Come Clean Duathlon yesterday. In case you didn't see, don't miss out! They came out beautifully...
For your viewing pleasure, here are more pics of the trophies - including several promo/teaser photos before the event. I really enjoyed this project...
Forging metal may take a little longer, but nothing compares to the look and feel of it! Besides, it'll last forever...
Here's an internal 'traveling' trophy for the creative communicators at Gud Marketing. What do you think?
A client had a cast bell and yoke of sentimental value, but it was missing the cradle and handle. I designed and created this one to match the bell size and the look of the yoke. I will have to see about a photo of it installed...
woo-hoo! My friends at the Lansing Art Gallery are showing off their new sign. Looks sharp with the lettering in place. Thanks, Ladies.

As promised, here's another project... delivered to the happy ladies of the Lansing Art Gallery. This sidewalk sign can easily be moved indoors/outdoors, and won't blow over in the gusty downtown corridor. It came with aluminum panels that will become various signs stuck up with magnets - interchangeable for that special event...
Darn it!!!!!!!!!!!
My proposal for Delta Township was not selected.
Just a minor road bump in my journey to artistic excellence, and another runner-up notch in the belt ...
What's a guy to do when his family is enjoying sun and fun at the lake... without him... for the upteenth time this summer?!
BE PRODUCTIVE. Knocked four art projects off the list, including the Borg Cube, a perspective sculpture, a bell cradle, and a sidewalk sign. Stay tuned for pictures this week...
