Ornaments!!

A few of the Christmas ornaments I've made in their homes!

Upper Moreland High School's 2014 Craft Event

Upper Moreland High School in Pennsylvania has an annual fund raiser craft fair / event in December. I've done 2 of these events so far. This year was a good turn out! Made a few sales, talked to some nice people and had a good time

B I G R O B O T !

At the recent Pancake Breakfast I finally found a home for this big fella! 

It's odd, it's a bitter sweet feeling ( 'least it is for me) to sell one of my pieces that's been around for a while. Kinda like losing an old friend. I'm sad to see him go, put happy to have him leave.

( i know I probably sound ridiculous by sentimentally  anthropomorphizing a sculpture)

 Au revior Big Robot, good luck in your new home.

A collar for Mongo's Wife

I met a nice guy who asked me to make his lovely wife a paracord collar. I really hope they enjoy it!

Mongo & his lady, and yup, that's me in the green shirt in the background!

Pancake Breakfast Y'all !

The Patriots of Pennsylvania Motorcycle Club had a Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser. My good friend Mike gave me an invite

That's Mike, or ad he's better known as Snapp, and his fiance Heather in the left corner

 The food was great! Chocolate chip pancakes, sausage and scrambled eggs!

 The music was pretty sweet! Classic Rock, Beatles ...

 And the people were awesome!

And, I found a home for this big fella!

(more of ) My work in it's home!

This tarantula is one of my oldest pieces. Jen, a friend of a friend, her boyfriend bought it at a recent craft faire ( A.A.C's Fall Fest) 

My good friend Michele bought this paracord bracelet at the A.A.C's Fall Fest!

My Co-Worker Randy, had me make him a "skinny" paracord bracelet

Fall Fest 2014

The Abington Art Center in Jenkintown P.A had it's 2nd Annual Fall Festival yesterday. I was one of the artists in attendance. As luck would have it my table #12  was put next to my friend Aly's table. She is very talented ceramicist. I didn't have much of an opportunity to explore the sights... But it seemed like all who attended had a great time. My experience was a good one! I met some nice people, sold some things, and (hopefully) set up some more work for myself. I'm looking forward to next year's event!

I love seeing my work being put to good use

Kayla's Leash

 An 8' long pink & purple paracord leash! 550lb cord was used for all. The core braid is a simple triple braid with cobrastitch wrapped handles. There's an additional handle closer to dog for added control. The leash is long enough to used as a trainer, or as a camping / backyard tie out. It's also long enough to sling from waist to shoulder to free your hands up. The leash can be double onto itself to become a more convenientional lentgh .

 My friend Michele asked me to make this leash for this fluffy Lil' monster! Kayla!

the best dog collar ever!

I have the week off, and have Mack for a house guest. I made him a paracord dog collar a little over a year ago. It was my first attempt at such things... But it needed to be updated.....

The grey & teal, is the updated better version. The yellow & grey is was the prototype.

Happy accident !

I started making another belt, ...it was supposed to be a man's medium (38" total length, for app.  34") belt. But I got about 3/4 of the way done, ...and ran out of cording,... The dye lot was different for the grey. So I made it shorter and gave it to Kelly!

(another) Paracord Leash

Triple braided shaft, with cobra stitched handles. 550lb paracord and a traditional steel clasp.
