Antler Head is finished!
I carved a big wooden bone, hollowed it out, filled it with electronics and then affixed the Antler Head stone to the wood. I also deepened the grooves of the teeth to make them more pronounced.
The eyes are marbles glued to washers. It was important to have translucent eyes so [...]
We have a trail that winds through cedar trees and grass lands and a big hill. The trail is winding and both dark and sun-speckled as sun light filters through the trees. There’s lots of stumps and rocks and perfect places to display art in a dramatic outdoor setting. But outside art [...]
I was recently compelled to add blinking LEDs to stone. I had a limestone rock that I carved and it really needed some eyes. I liked how light shines through marbles and wanted a similar effect. But once they marbles are set into stone, the marbles become less shiny. So how can I light them? [...]
I needed a cool flashing LED effect (don’t we all?). J made a generic LED sequencing board and I made it groovy. By using a few materials (hot glue, a jar, a bowl, cardboard, more hot glue…) that I had laying about, I was able to create a groovy glue based ambient lighting jar. [...]

This piece is made [...]

This is my first piece that incorporates movement and lights. The spinning LEDs are the “whirling part” of my Dervish. I was inspired to take this step by the Robot Group .
The wire leads to a battery pack [...]
Well, I just submitted my entry into the “Pabst 2008 Art Contest .” I had 59 minutes to spare, so I’m kickin’ back and drinking a well deserved PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon) and preparing my taste buds for a year’s supply of beer (if all goes well).
I’d like to thank Betsey for letting me [...]
