two projects from my classes at MATC

WELDING PROJECTS
These were *not* my idea… but they’ve (both) kind of grown on me…. it’s either a napkin holder or something to hold bills/letters/mail…. at any rate, it’s *heavy* and still quite *dirty*…. and slightly out of season, I guess…

SHEET METAL PROJECT
Here is what tonight’s project was. This tool box was incredibly fun to make 🙂 I like sheet metal!

Coasters – coreopsis

These are coreopsis from Birds & Bloom magazine. Birds & Bloom is one of my favorites to use, as you will see later this week when I post more pictures of coasters & light switch covers. Incidentally, I have coresopsis like the ones on the lower left in my yard. I never knew they came in colors other than yellow – I think I may go get some red & pink ones in the spring 🙂

4 Coasters

All four are paintings by Malva – images found in an Art & Antiques magazine I picked up while in Chicago visitng SOFA 2 weeks ago.
