we were recently introduced to Kelley Carmichael Casey of SCRAP in Portland, OR. It is an amazing oranization that she runs where people divert useful materials from the landfill into a warehouse-like space for resale. The materials are organized, priced and offered to the local community. they become fodder for art projects, crafts, kids experiments and just about anything that one could dream up. SCRAP is growing nationally and seeing increased interest from people of all walks. we admire the work of SCRAP and support all they do.

always drawing, always making...

Pretty much every day of every week I awake and need to either get to my sketchbook, my chisels, my saws or my jewelers torch. The visuals come in as I sleep and during time spent in water. My responsibility is to capture as much of this as possible. If I do, more comes in... if I slack the river dries up. So I am always in Flow, always in some form of creating something or other. No its not exhausting, its invigorating and I look forward to each new "download".
