Nana brags again

Just have to share that my grandson has wrestled his way to the top again. He is #1 in junior varisty wrestling, this year. He was team captian for his team too. Two years ago he was New England Champ for Wrestling USA.

Good Job Ryan.

Engraved Butterfly

This is a panel I did awhile back. It is engraved with the use of the electric dremel. A phone costomer had asked me to post an example of my engraving work.

The entire panel measures 10" x 14"

Mosaic Mirror

Here is the latest piece I am working on. The small oval inserted mirror is engraved with the saying, "A friend always understands what you mean, even without words.

The piece measures 20" L x 13 1/2" H. The center is mirror.

The turnings will be painted a different color, (not sure what yet. The grout will be white.

My Book

Well I finally got it done. Sure wish I was better at this computer and understood it, would have made the process a whole lot easier.

Here is the link to the book.

This is my latest adventure into new ideas for Christmas gifts.

The pictures on the left are housed in memory glass that is 1" x 3". The are inserted between the two pieces of glass, back to back and will have a cord attached by a jump ring. The bracelet is assembled in much the same way. That memory glass is 1" x 1". Fun project, just wish the hands were work faster.

Nana has to brag. It would appear that I have a budding swim champ.

My granddaughter Jenna, joined a local swim team three months ago, and has begun compeating with the team. This is a picture of her very first meet where she earned a point for the team. She has already earned 3 ribbons.

Great exercise, and team training process too.

She seems to love this sport and is devoted to the team aspect of it.
