Patience please while photos load!

Maneki Neko is almost 2' high, and is hollow cement over metal lathe, with a veneer of Milestone, colored with latex paint pigment. The project was started in a 3 day workshop, and completed at home. The color and surface should be very durable outdoors year round. The beckoning cat brings good luck, and welcomes people to my home. |

A gift tile and some fragile fossils are mounted, "framed" and incorporated into my eccentric eastside art "fence"! Above is the Spring view of my "Tree in Four Seasons"; Summer is on the other side. All views include a raven. The tree is not green in all seasons, so not Yggdrasill. Fall and Winter are on a gable above an adjacent "window" mounted on the same retaining wall. |

This insulated and stripped electrical wire weaving over black recycled plasic mesh is in the form of a stylized hanging kimono. It is mounted to a bamboo frame to form a six foot high trellis over a large planter box on the north boundary of my garden. I don't know if the hardy red-leafed grave vine has survived the winter yet; if so the kimono will support it. |

They are Waiting OK, this is a virtual piece; it is actually a digital image from a photo of a single wooden silhouette! |

RoseWind Garden Shed: this concrete tilt-up and rastra block 10'x12' shed houses the RW well holding tank. ![]() |
It was built as a community art project. Doug Milholland was our lead in this experiment, with Michael and I as the primary work crew. Everyone contributed favorite materials and creative energy in laying out the wall decorations. This side features my devilfish. John Liczwinko served a critical function as our technical consultant; his concrete work is wonderful. I would like to replace the "gryphon" on top, which was a last minute attempt created in about 20 minutes in a howling gale, at the end of a long work day! | |||
