steven's art: handcrafted paddles

My husband Steven started making handcrafted, custom made paddles earlier this year. It was a natural thing actually. He was a white water kayaker for many, many years and he still loves flat water paddling.

Sailboat rebuild: Starfish

You may have heard me mention the "sailboat rebuild" before… ever since my Dad and Steven found a workshop space, they have spent a good part of every day working on the project.

moleskin journal: 7-second crab

I remembered the scrap of paper my husband Steven drew on the day before. He called it a "7-second" crab because he told me that is how long it would take him to draw it

Fabric Paper Collage - A collaboration

I am very happy to have Steven's drawing that reflects my eyes, incorporated into a collage that will be displayed and enjoyed. By itself his drawing was not finished. I feel I’ve added to his artwork and created something that showcases his drawing. Another collaboration for us!
