		<description><![CDATA[Inspiration for my latest sculpture, &#8220;Family Excursion&#8221; started with a splinter of mulberry wood I rescued from my firewood pile a couple years ago. I could see that it had great possibilities, so I took it in, and from time to time would sand on it, and try to think about what to use if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted here for a long, long time, been way too busy. Got an order from Artful Home for 140 bird ornaments, took me by surprise, and I really wasn&#8217;t ready, so I&#8217;ve been very busy. I did this piece, &#8220;Yes Man&#8221;, back during the summer. I took video of the entire process and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always preferred to have my pickle solution hot, or at least warm; it works so much faster, especially for dissolving flux. Since many of the pieces I make are rather large, I have sometimes had to settle for cold pickle, since the crock-pot was too small. Recently my crock-pot developed a leak, so [...]]]></description>

Originally, when I hadn&#8217;t gotten any further than the clay model, I thought I would use repoussé techniques to make the arms simply embossed on the surface. I soon came to realize that [...]]]></description>
