Earlier today, I said to someone that when designing this installation, I have been trying to make art that fits the theme while also making something that my daughter would like.
Considering my toughest critic just stole one of the “babies!” from my desk, I’d say the project is going swimmingly. (Wah wah.) Less than 3 weeks to go, so
Full Steam Ahead!

Here’s a little peek at what’s going on in the studio lately. Less than a month to go until the finished version is ready for the 2014 Anacortes Arts Festival! More updates to come.
New work! Check out more at Suzanne’s gallery page.
These guys each have their own 1-inch button, lovingly crafted by Tacoma’s Nearsighted Narwhal. Be on the lookout as they invade T-town.
Here’s a couple of pictures from tonight’s work session.

Special thanks to my friends at FabLab for their help and patience as I set out to see how big of a laser cut I could make.
Answer: approx. 22″ x 34″.
I still smell like a Russian banya (sauna) from sitting next to the laser cutter for so long. Mm-mm, burnt birch goodness.
