These are the guys that lit my Land Rover fuse. I agree with Ricardo. The Land Rover is “the most photogenic” of all cars.

Tiny sculptures from scraps
Lydia Ricci makes tiny sculptures from scraps. “Paper, board, the back side of anything, glue, tape, staples and what was almost thrown away.” I’ve shared some of her pieces before. Each time I look at these I find myself wanting to watch the artist create these.

Handrails
When we built our home in 1986 we decided we did not want railings on the stairs. We liked the clean, open lines of the stairs and figured we were smart enough to avoid falling off. The upstairs is mostly my domain and I go up and down many times every day.
I recently decided it was time for some handrails. Just something to hold on to when going up and down. I reached out (once again) to artist/machinist Andy Cain and he came through.
These will look even better when painted.
1971 Series IIA Land Rover
Link to this beauty (I assume they were all out of every other color) showed up in comments on another post. Restoration by Classic Car Studios in St. Louis. Figured it deserved a post. But I’d be much more likely to buy this truck before one of the new Land Rovers.
Just look for the red Buddha
We live at the end of a gravel road, at the top of a hill. I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Not all of our neighbors agree, but mostly only those that would like to sell and move, so…
Most of us don’t have house numbers (on the house) rather some kind of sign out by the road. Today I upgraded ours with a little color. Before/after pics so you can see the scale better (The log is about 30 inches high).
This will look much nicer when Barb’s flowers start blooming.
Death Book
“A recent project I worked on was this series of illustrations, animated and no, for a short nonfiction piece by Rachel Monroe for Pop Up Magazine. The story is about the author’s mother, who collects phrases from the obituary section of the newspaper in a little black notebook. It’s a therapeutic ritual.”

KLOCKWERKS
“The beautiful steampunk mantel clocks and unique timepieces from KLOCKWERKS are all created by self-taught artist Roger Wood of Hamilton, Ontario. His clock-making process starts with perusing items at yard sales and flea markets to find great components to craft these beautiful and unique timepieces. Wood then uses other people’s discarded and unwanted items to find things that speak to him, things with a history. These items can be pretty much anything, from wheels and gears to musical instruments and feathers. Wood has assembled a massive collection of items, most of which is barely contained by the numerous drawers in his Hamilton, Ontario workshop.”
