I normally show my completed projects but sometimes it’s nice to show a work in progress! I mean after all - aren’t we all a beautiful work in progress?! This particular color scheme reminds me of my “trip of a lifetime” - driving down the Pacific coast highway and through Big Sur! I took so many pictures of the water - I just couldn’t stop! If you’ve ever driven that route, you know there are countless overlooks for which to pull over and observe the ocean and it’s magical shoreline. And each one provides a new prospective of the breathtaking view. Today I stopped to observe this piece in progress. I think it’s coming along quite nicely!

Maverick is an intricate part of the copper patina process! He provides constant love and encouragement to me while I work, and sometimes a cute distraction. Maverick is a 6 year old standard poodle with a kind (and energetic) human soul. Maverick's favorite things are jumping, sweet potatoes, long walks, and being petted. He enjoys being a copper expert and approves every custom piece that goes out of my studio door.  I mean who could resist this face?! My copper is Karla aged and Maverick approved!
