nice work I don't know much about making mugs but it sure doesn't look easy and must take some great patience

Another project as well. but not carving, its the history of my growing up in a mid century house, furniture and parents that were top designers and illustrators in Los Angles 1966 and on. I will be doing a website about it. but until that here is a sample.

SO cool!

Beautiful parents interesting careers. You inherited a lot from them, Wendy

Hi Wendy, its funny the sudden interest I have for what my parents did. At the time it was no big deal, growing up with the eames furniture,mid century stuff 9 one of my parents closes friend was Charles Eames) and then, I realized, I am getting older, my parents are in the late 70's and I will look into what they did, and WAM, it hit me. The 60's and 70's designer and illustrators are gone, with little history. Well, at least I will bring back mine. Its full or photos, I am having both parents write down friends, jobs etc for that time. Some of my friends say I should write a book, well....maybe. there is soooo much stuff I have to go through, at least 150 boxed and about 10,000 slides, and decide if I make it a bio on them, on their seperate careers or of my upbringing with all mixed in. Pretty cool. And of course the very cool house I grew up in http://www.544paseomiramar.com . From the start the art, design, mid century and of course the tiki seed was planted. I am very excited on putting this out for all to see! thanks Scott tikibad Woodward
