September 17-22, 2021 Fort Collins, Colorado

 Low 70's and sunny today.



We had brunch with Mandy and John. Mandy cooked us breakfast including home croissants. It was yummy and good to see them. We spent a lazy morning in the sun. Inside their greenhouse is huge basil and tomato  plants.



Our herb garden has 4 basils and a small oregano that I just harvested. The basil in the posts will come with us on the road. the ones in the ground traveled with us last year. I sandblasted the masterpiece today. Here it is with the stencil still on it and with out the stencil.




Beefy belongs to the renters in the front house. He is often out in the yard when we come out, always ready to play. He is a sweetheart. Every time I ride by this graffiti I ponder what it means. 



Evening light on the  Poudre River. It is pretty low right now. The waxing gibbus moon caught in a sculpture at the water park. 



Sunset over Martinez park. I spent long hours last night adding dichroic and colored glass to the masterpiece. It is currently in the kiln cooling off. I had glass spread all over getting just the right pieces. 



What the masterpiece looked like going  into the kiln last night. This is what it looked like the this  afternoon when I took it out of the kiln.  I painted a bunch of gold on it and it is now in the kiln again slumping into a mold. 



Sunset started like this tonight, then dropped below the clouds and stopped. The   master piece is  now done. It is 12 inches in diameter, with copper mica luster and dichroic and colored glass. It is a gorgeous. 



The last batch of finished glass basket centers set in resin and drilled.  A few beveled, polished pendants I finished.




The full harvest moon rising. I was lucky to catch it between the horizon and the clouds. I started another masterpiece. 



Beautiful light in the trees on the bike path this evening.
