Adventures at Home and Abroad

After spending thirty-six years in the working world, I am learning to "live outside the lines," become less regimented, and explore creative projects.

Presents for Pretty Girls

April 18, 2019

I decided to make a house-warming gift for Lauren, who was moving into her new apartment. This piece included several different techniques, including one I'd never tried before. I found a small sturdy stick, covered it in copper foil, and soldered it. Then, I integrated it into the piece. Fun!
