11/13/2019 - This week I was honored and excited to receive a request from the Rhode Island Relic Club to create something special for an event planned for April of 2020. From what I've heard they've begun work on what will most likely be the event of the year. I'm very excited to be part of this POUND THE GROUND 2020 project and I'll be doing my own very best to create something equally as amazing.

'Winters Tale' - 17 October 2019
Last week I began working on something to donate to a charitable auction. It was to be for a special cause that my good friends Marc and Gail Hoover are helping to support. My idea was to create a tiny winter scene inside a hollow book. Finishing this project with a four day-old broken arm in a cast was not easy but I think it came out quite nicely. Inspired by the novel 'Winter's Tale', by Mark Helprin.
