Homemade cards and envelopes!

I went to the paper store to pick a couple greeting cards. $6.75!!! I thought to myself, "I could totally make this." And so I did. All it took was a little construction paper, some pretty scrap paper, and some string that was lying around. Voilá! Handmade with love. The purple one will be mailed internationally... hopefully it'll make it there in one piece.

Q: "What's for you in Alamo?"

A: "The Space Museum."

Selected photos from our trip to Alamogordo, White Sands, and Las Cruces


Susan and I pay our respects at the resting place of HAM, the world's first astrochimp.


Sand got everywhere.

Sand angles!


The sledding idea was a bust.


"Billy the Kid sat in this chair. (We think)"

New Mexico has so much to offer!

Belt buckles!

This piece began with its focal point, the pink middle finger. It was a very organic and effortless artistic process from there. I thank Meagan Christy for being a great source of inspiration for me.

Slightly profane, completely practical.


This one I can wear to work. My Grandma and Grandpa at Capilla del Monte in Argentina, about 56 years ago:

A more sentimental theme

Totally rad belt buckles recipe:

stuff to clip from (mags, papers, photos, etc.)
other cool stuff (sequin, glitter, paint, stickers, feathers,...)
glue
scissors
plain belt buckle (the internet is full of options)
crafting resin

Glue decorations to buckle, resin over the top, let dry, and be a rockstar.
