June 14-22,2017 Fort Collins, Colorado



I had lunch with a group of old coworkers - old job, we are not old. Kay, Carol, Nancy and I. It was fun to see them. Horses on the bike trail next to the river in Fort Collins.

Sunset. The top part of the masterpiece photo is a stencil I got got from a class I took at the glass expo in Vegas last month. I sandblasted it  on to a piece of blue mirror glass. The middle photo is it without light behind it and the bottom one is it with light behind it.

I now have two turkey roasters and am boiling pine needles in glycerin in them. Hoping to get a years worth of needles done so I don't have to mess with it on the road. The top one in this masterpiece photo is a plate I made last year. It sold to a friend. She saw another one I made with some columbines in it and asked for a remake. The remake so far.

My brother Jerry came up and took us out to dinner, early for my birthday and almost on time for our anniversary. The restaurant gave me some green tea ice cream for my birthday, some of it is on Jerry's plate. Sunset on the way home in Old Town Fort Collins.

Some sights from my evening bike ride. A huge bull snake, grass seed heads and reflections in the gravel pit lake.

Seed heads and a deer on the bike path.
The columbine piece before it's first firing, then after it's first firing on a mold to slump before the second firing. I am leading the blue sandblasted piece. 

A guitar sculpture on old town square. Sunset this evening. 

Two more shots along the bike path along the river. 

Mandy purchased both of these pieces. She bought the left one last year, but wanted me to make one with columbines and trade. So I made the columbine one this year and when she saw both she decided to buy both.


Grass, milkweed blossom with a swallow tail on it, birds on the wire in the sunset and the finished columbine piece. Sunset from our deck.

The future site of the Fort Collins water park on the Poudre River.
