Friday, June 12th, 2009I invented a new drink
Thursday, June 4th, 2009At least I’ve never heard of anything like this before. It is a refreshing spiked iced tea drink for the summer. It’s called the Bear Creek, that’s where it was invented.
- 3 parts iced tea (it can be flavored, something similar to Turkey Hill Iced Tea)
- 2 parts seltzer water
- 1 part vodka
- lemon wedge
serve over ice
I’ve been drinking them lately, and it really hits the spot. Anyway, it’s a whole lot better than the last drink I invented: wine-quilla. Trust me, it’s as bad as it sounds.
And I know what you’re asking yourself, “Are those Lego ice cubes?” Answer, yes, yes they are.
Look what my mommy made me
Monday, June 1st, 2009Lake Log Bowl
Sunday, May 31st, 2009Recently, I got my hands on some logs that have been at the bottom of a lake for about 100 years. I turned a simple bowl, just to see what the wood would give me. I’m very happy with how it turned out. The imperfections give it so much character.
The wood was pretty stinky, I had to put the microwave outside while I dried it out. Thankfully the smell went away once it dried.
I’m not sure what species of wood it is, it might be maple. I believe the gray color is due to the fact that it has been absorbing dirt and silt for a couple decades.
After truing up the bottom of the bowl, I found it wasn’t exactly flat. The bottom comes to a point that allows the bowl to spin. It’s a bowl and a top. This was totally on purpose by the way.

Rubber Origami Mobiles
Thursday, May 7th, 2009In the past, I’ve had a little success with origami and I’ve had a little success with mobiles, why not put them together?
After a little “you got your chocolate in my peanut butter, you got your peanut butter in my chocolate” design work, I came up with the Rubber Origami Mobile. Now for a limited time in red.
Props
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009I’ve been working on some props for a puppet show my aunt and uncle are working on: an outboard motor and a game show button.
The button is magic and can take you back in time. It’s given to a little girl (puppet), who lives in a small African village, by a magical shaman. The paint job is a little Charlie Brown.
The outboard motor is exaggerated in size compared to the boat it will be attached to. A young girl (another puppet) rides around in the boat rescuing flood victims.

Sunday, January 25th, 2009Puck Lamps
Monday, January 12th, 2009I made a bunch of lamps with the pretty much the same shaped base. Basically an experiment to figure out what type of wood and finish I like best. I’ve been calling them Puck Lamps.
All of the lamps are for sale.
