xmas decorations from recycled - Tins token holder
Somewhere buried deep in my memory is the presence of the fairy dancer. She keeps re-appearing in my imagination in many forms - and she comes out in my design work over and over. Sometimes I see a version of her in a Victorian die cut scrap: and sometimes in an antique costume, like the old theatre piece I wore at Halloween: and she came out when I designed this Santos figure: Here she is most recently, in the process of being turned into a little puppet: and of course, she comes to life and dances every fall at the Theatre of Dreams! For sure, she will come to visit this fall at my shop in Port Costa! OPEN HOUSE SCHEDULE - fall 2012 Fri.

Recycling scraps of silver is a big thing in my workshop. I have three recycling pots - * clean silver scraps - tail ends of wire and sheet that haven’t been soldered * soldered scraps - bits that have been soldered and weren’t quite right *dust - what it says on the tin - silver sawdust!
