Lure 'em In & Plug 'em!

I could get hooked on these! 

When I was young I remember going to the tackle & bait shops and wanting these because they looked so cool to me. Some call them "Lures" and others call them "Plugs!" Either way they can be found here @ salmonplugsnw.com.
The boxes have some great graphix!

Light Trash!

It says to trash it but I wouldn't!
Trash Me Lamp @ switchmodern.com.

Switch Modern's description: The concept word for the Trash Me lamp is "transient."  Like our current global culture, it is ephemeral.  The lamp is made of paper pulp spread over a mold and left to dry.  A strong concept becomes an extraordinary form, and in this case, it is a rebirth of what the designer sees as a beauty of the utilitarian forms.  Its fitting name means "Please recycle me when no longer useful or desired."  

Trash Me Lamp is made of gray paper pulp, recycled wood, and aluminum components, finished with a 9 foot burgundy fabric cord.  This lamp uses one 40W E26 incandescent bulb or one 7-11W compact fluorescent.

Heather Erwin

 

I was asked by Ms. Erwin of Studio 215 to participate in a collaborate worx with her and her fellows elementary students from Buckman Heights Elementary of Greece Central School District in Rochester, NY for the School's Out for Summer 2 Program!

My participation was to be an inspiration for the students who took my work and interpreted in their own way. I've got to say I was totally impressed and flattered by the worx these young artist have done. It's always amazing how the the young mind works and how imaginative they can get. They of course deserve all the praise and Heather too.

If you go on Facebook please go to 215's page and "LIKE" it to give Heather and her students their well deserved credit!

Love, Honor, and Congrats to all the students and their worx!
