A while ago I bought a large sheet of copper for a specific project and only used a small part of it. It’s been sitting in my studio gathering dust ever since. I’ve been thinking for a while what to with it as I don’t like the way that copper stains the skin, so wasn’t […]

Colin sent me this funny snippet yesterday. He’s not sure where he got it from so I can’t quote the source, but it made me chuckle. It’s the kind of stuff I would hope he would get up to in order to make each shopping trip more fun, but he chooses, quite wisely, to stay […]
