Etc.

Friends are in town again from Chicago. Really fun to see them and hang out a little, I’ll be more present next time we see them. I can almost taste it now, being back home after three months. I miss my house and our life in Chicago. This has been a great experience and I’m so glad I did it during the winter. I guess we have almost broken a record for snowfall this winter in Wisconsin. I can feel it my shoulders and arms after all the shoveling. It just goes to figure that I have a snow-blower gathering dust in my garage back home.

I’ve now poured two brass nocturnal pieces and have gotten them back from Jack, all polished just the way I like them. I’m going for a surface that looks “antique” -not too polished and shiny, - as if the object has kicked around a few hundred years. I’ve also poured a few cast iron sundials and they look pretty cool. I like the idea, and it was nice to see this project through in a pretty quick fashion.
