Getting ready for the big installation!!!

Im so sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I have been completely engulfed in the creation of an Anna Marie replica chandelier for Bay De Noc Community College's new Art Building. The project is wrapping up well and the installation is scheduled for Friday Oct 10th. This has been an intense project!!! I was working under an extremely tight deadline. I will be taking pictures of the installation and I promise I will post them. At that time I will discuss the process at length from how I put together the initial proposal, the presentation, contract signing, creation and installation.

Torn

Im constantly torn between the desire to stay in my wonderful, small midwest town and the lure and lux of the city. For example, today I just had to have 7 VOSS glass water bottles for a project. Do you think anywhere, anywhere, in a 50 mile radius sold VOSS water? Most places I asked didnt even know what it was. I ended up having to order a case from a remote far off source. Whatever, it will be here next wednesday. I cant tell you how many times I've had a craving for sushi, or just wanted a crab cake and apple martini from Joe's Stone Crab, only to come up empty handed and left wanting and waiting till my next trip to Chicago. On the other hand, no traffic, no crime, fresh air, just clean and quite Marquette. Not to mention "The Lake"! When I was recently away in Minneapolis the one thing that felt so different was the lack of water. Though, I hardly noticed while scarfing down nearly $100 worth of awesome sushi at Chino Latinos. 

I think they call it compromise.   

In love with a rug

I want this, end of story. Faux Bois is so totally cool. I plan on using it in my some of my new work. You can find this rug at Horchow or at "Needless Markup" (also know as Neiman Marcus) 

LOVE IT!

Finally got a website.

Today I finally got a professional website up and running and wouldn't you know, the very first day my host server gets DDoS attacked. What is DDoS attacked? Great question, I had no idea until today.. Its basically a big spam bomb that attacks the server (happened to be the one hosting my site) rendering it, (and everything on it) inaccessible.

Luckily it only took 4 hours to fix the problem. Thats just the way it goes sometimes. 

Well it works now, check it out!
