Slow But Steady

I am catching up on posts today, and am trying not to get too frustrated at Blogger. Still figuring this out, and occasionally having to re-write posts because they mysteriously disappear after I add pictures. But anyway, not interesting. In the last few weeks I have been making slow but steady progress. My wire samples arrived (so pretty!), my actual wire arrived with the plug (let there be light!), I finished a family of robots (now I am sad to see them go), and drum roll please.... I finished a lamp (only 6 months after I started it...)! Lots of pictures below, and I had to restrain myself from including too many pictures of cat & lamp. Stuff is so photogenic, she upstages the lamp.

Studio Intro

Welcome to my tiny studio! This is where bike parts turn into gremlin-like robots, where bike chains turn into lamps, and where I get very, very greasy. My studio companions are my cats, Stanley and Stuff, and my dog Rowan. The cats are more often irritating than not, jumping up on my bench every few minutes, ripping up a plastic bag, knocking tiny parts onto the floor, basically being cats in a studio. I could lock them out, but the incessant whining and scratching can be more maddening. Rowan just sleeps and monitors the cats. All in all the three of them keep me company. Although I would love to have more light I do enjoy working in my little cozy studio(/guest bedroom/office).
