man, this is taking a long time..

between life, work, family, unexpectedness and an idea that'll take longer than the second coming of christ to realize to begin with--i noticed that it's been a year or more since i started this blog to document the project that will finally become a penny covered floor in the basement of my home that will serve as my work/art studio.  i've probable mentioned this before.

progress has been slow, but it's finally coming together.  the drywall and painting is done (after a few late nights after the kids went to sleep), and i've just completed the installation of a reclaimed cedar wood wall (the wood used to serve as a dock at the family cottage, so it's nice to reuse it here for fun).

stay tuned for some more progress photos, and the beginning of what i will anticipate being a loooong installation of the penny floor.  i'm lookin' forward to it!!

check this one out..

i've been working on a lot of things.  mostly my job, which has taken me out of town for several months ans away from the pennies...

back at home most of the time now, and getting back to making the penny tiles for the floor.  came across this one the other night.  thought it was fairly interesting--like it's been used as a buffing wheel or something.  i guess when you handle upwards of 87, 000 of something, you're bound to hit a strange one...
