Happenings Home and Away

The past 30 days have been enjoyable. Have created several new mobiles and wire sculptures in response to project requests from clients. Also invited to display work in a new retail venture nearby. Workshop has been cleaned up. Fresh coat of white paint on main workbench provides a better background to see work pieces during assembly. More to be done, of course.

We had a nice trip to Oakland, CA recently to visit our daughter and her family. Artisitic inspiration abounds in the Bay area ----- museums, galleries, restaurant design, landscape, and people. Went on a field trip with our son-in-law to view current design build projects. He and our daughter work together to create beautiful, unique restaurant spaces for clients. Visited the workspace of Chris French Metal in Oakland. Beautiful down to earth shop and office. Produces great custom metal work, primarily for commercial use (i.e. restaurants, office buidings, private residences.)
