Elizabeth spent her days in the loony bin of Graduate School making these little baubles. They began innocently enough, finding a few kits at an upscale garage sale. The Silver Princess below was her second, and according to the Elves that think ...

Snow-Day Dementia

nobody@vox.com(dangerhart) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 14:58:22 -0800

Our first Christmas as Newlyweds in our new-to-us house got us to thinkin about the nice little pine tree out front, and how it was a bit lonely, and maybe would like a bit of holiday cheer. First we wrapped the big gate that was my first project...

Snow Day Projects Begin...

nobody@vox.com(dangerhart) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 14:48:58 -0800

Over the weekend where the area mountains saw 48" of snow in 48 hours (and the roads were head-shaking impossibilities) we hunkered down and put on our Elf Caps, Elf Tool Belts, and Elfin sweet-tooth for our first foray into Gingerbread Construct...

Rest Day for my hands...

The buck quail has used up nearly all of my remaining clay. I already have around 100 lbs of clay on him, and have only just "skinned" the foam and gave the form some symmetry. Yesterday I went a tad ocd and layed up a vast amount of clay over the...

Thought I'd share a few images from the drive up to Lewistown, MT for the cattle sale. I tried an alternate route that cut off 100 miles and added 2.5 hours: not quite a short cut after all...

Quail Diaries: learning to skate

nobody@vox.com(dangerhart) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 08:41:52 -0800

This is another commission I am working on for a local park. Eventually it will consist of a mated pair of Gambel's Quail on skates with a tower of acrobatic chicks balanced on their backs. Silly? Yes. But it should be pretty keen. There will be ...

Wench-Ho! (double entendre!)

nobody@vox.com(dangerhart) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:42:41 -0800

The Flying Spaghetti Monster appeared upon the prow and led us through a maze of reefs upon moonlit waters, his noodley appendanges touching us all! He was greatly pleased to find our swarthy crew of Pastafarian sea pirates, and ran our pursuing...

Commission: Herriman Library Mobile

nobody@vox.com(dangerhart) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:19:33 -0700

While I was out of the country two public art commissions came through for me! I made this small mobile last week to play around with some of the concerns that will arise at full scale. The finished form will be 30'x28'x10' and hang i...
