i love the wild cats that live behind the studio. the neighbor has many treasures for them to play amongst, and they take full advantage :)

incredulous

this building is almost 100 years old, so clearly this arch is legitimate, but holy cow i would have never guessed it was so thin! it's super elegant, isn't it? and a little unnerving, perhaps.

hardware mockup

i'm working on a custom furniture project but the wood-workers giving bids seem a little distrustful of my hardware detail. to test it out, i made a little mockup with some 2x4s. the execution is a little crude, but i think it will work just fine. i think the effect will be huge, photos of the final result sometime this fall, hopefully.

lampule, take 1

last time i was in the twin cities i picked up a case of these really cool amber glass ampules at axman (or as i call it, the happiest place on earth). they seem destined to become a light shade, but i haven't yet decided the best way to weave them all together. here's a mockup i made of one connection concept.

new prototype

just back from the foundry - a fresh cast of a new light fixture i'm working on. it definitely still needs some refinement, but not a bad first prototype
