Underwater Relics

After I finished using a blowtorch on various metal pieces, I realized that the collection appeared as some sort of underwater excavation.



I remember a summer where Jay and Grace scoured the bottom of the lake and found old stove legs, broken bottles and blue willow china at our cottage.



I was too scared to go so deep.





Next summer instead of just looking completely ethereal and mermaidish....



we could have a really fun photoshoot?

Straight to Work

Andy and I got back from out summer long adventure across the US and back, to an apartment feeling far less than homey - we moved (like the rest of Montreal) on July 1st - and then left for our 2 month trip on the 2nd.



Due to our luxuriously long va-ca.....we both had to get right to work.
I will post trip and new apt pics eventually.



On our new back balcony, I used a blow torch to transform some old metal pieces.



I organized stuff. and made more of it.




These particular shapes are really popular, but I have started exploring with new shapes as well....



come back to see them!
