jewelry for the house

Yesterday the gates were fitted to their openings. Once fitted, they’ll be taken back down so they
can be be powder coated for protection. (color will be similar to the angel at the right).
Each is a work of art by Joan Waters who thoughtfully went through my photo of the day images
and used animals, petroglyphs and plant shapes she found in my photographs. Thanks, Joan!

It took several tries but I finally got some sparks to show (a little anyway).

steel boulders

It took 2 years of trying to make things grow before I gave up and decided to grow boulders
and yard art instead. Here’s a photo of some steel boulders I asked my artist friend Joan Waters
to make for me. They serve two purposes. The first is to hold back the bank and the second
is to look cool! During the last month, I noticed that as the sun was rising, it was “kissing” the
tops of the boulders. With a little help from Photoshop, this is what I was seeing.
