When in doubt ... Dance!Thanks to all who stopped by our booth at the Home &
Garden Show in Columbus this past Feb., 2011. It was great to meet the
hundreds of people that we were able to chat with. Frances and I will be
continuing to add to this website and offer more and more samples of our
artists' work.We're
still hunting for that perfect spot to set up shop
and, as of today, it's looking like Northern Kentucky is getting the
most votes. But even though we'll be located in Kentucky, we'll be
available for projects no matter where you are.
Theming is something new to most of you but, I want you to know that
you don't have to have a
roller-coaster in your yard to give us a call. We have had multiple
designs in what you may consider a very normal home: Basements converted
into wine cellars; the Man Cave that wants to be more unique than the
next; that one-of-a-kind kid's room or outdoor retreat. We
have twelve (12) studio theme artists on staff to assist you in making
your dreams come to life.

The Library Project
As in many small towns, there's a sickness we often call progress. What I'm speaking of is the demolition of old buildings, our link to our past, heritage, and the loss of fine craftsmanship. I've heard every excuse in the book on why it seems necessary to level an old building to put up a parking lot. There are even songs written about it (Paving Paradise, Janis Joplin).
I was asked to create a prototype of a building in Punx'y, PA. that doesn't exist any longer, at 1/10th scale to the original. The only info I had was an old announcement back when the building was new, and a tattered, old photograph of what it looked like. - Sr |
The
project is being sponsored by the Rotary Club of Punxsutawney, PA.
(yup ... home of Punxsutawney Phil, the Groundhog). Visionary and Rotary President, Tom Chelgren approached me with the idea. He wanted to
create a walk-through exhibit of Punxsutawney, circa 1960. He, along
with project chair and mentor George C. (Butch) White,
assisted me on the making of this first prototype. The eventual plan is
to have a series of buildings, most of which do not exist any longer.
The finished row of buildings will
line an approach path to their annual Christmas Tree display in the
central park. Awesome idea, but I don't think anyone knew the amount of
work it was going to take to pull this off (not even me). Take a look at
the slide show below and see how it all came together. -Sr.
