Because my wife, Rachel, often helps put the finishing touches on my elf houses, she refers to herself as a "mushroom sylist." Its a funny little title, but why not? She's got a good eye for where to place the details that make a project come together. Here is some of her recent styling work for my houses:

Pottery Throw Down
I love the show the Great British Pottery Throw Down. So when I heard the Rum River Art Center was planning a similar competition, I jumped at the chance. This was a super fun day! I think my sculpture looked just like Judy, our model AND my one minute tea pot held and poured water!

Sculpture Project Revealed and Installed
My wife and I finished our sculpture project. The theme "Fun in Good" really got our creative juices flowing. To me, bright colors are really fun. I haven't been down to see the Faux Blooms yet (snow! boo!) but I can't wait to see everything at the St Paul Saints Stadium. And, of course, we'll catch a game.

New projects!
Still waiting here for the snow to melt, so I can get back to my number one passion - building elf houses! Until then, I started a new sculpture project. What can you do with an odd form and 2 dozen frisbees? Something fun. I've been asked to make a sculpture for Faux Bloom '23, a sculpture garden at the Saint Paul Saints Stadium. I couldn't be happier! Wait until you see the result.
