Blood, sweat, and sauder. I hit an unsolvable snag in my upcoming lighting project and @caseofbass saved my ass. They kindly turned the shop into an ac/dc converter production line this afternoon... This guy's got all the answers and all the good tunes. Never have I been more proud or more thankful for the creative people's rocking Portland! @pdxwlf we're coming for you! . . #handmade #production #solutions #mycolorfullife #creativelifehappylife #madeinoregon #portlandoregon #caseofbase #makeithappen #lightinstallation #wired #sauder #problemsolved #pdxwlf #community #artstudio #artistatwork #behindthescenes #hiphoplife #makerspace #makersgottamake

Today we said goodbye. "Old gue" has been taken down after tea ceremony, poetry, and many hugs. The beautiful ancient Osmanthis tree has been passed into our artists hands to be tenderly made into art throughout the coming year. Truly we feel blessed to be trusted with such a task. Thank you to @lansuchinesegarden for entrusting us with the memory of this beloved tree. . . #memorial #teaceremony #goodbyes #chinesegarden #plantlife #mycolorfullife #creativelifehappylife #botany #flora #tree #garden (at Lan Su Chinese Garden)

Within Lan Su, there are few plants or trees that engender deeper feeling or more significance than the Osmanthus heterophyllus ‘Variegatus’ — or sweet olive osmanthus—in the Courtyard of Tranquility, just inside the garden’s front door. Thought to be more than 100 years old, it is showing its advanced age and like the natural life cycle of all living things, our osmanthus – nicknamed “Old Gui” or old noble one – has finally reached the end of its life’s story. This fall the garden reached out to artists that could commemorate the tree by creating art from the tree after its removal on monday. I am deeply honored to have been chosen to participate in this project and will be collaborating on a new jewellery line available @lansuchinesegarden this December. . . #handmade #art #commemoration #mycolorfullife #botany ##chinesegarden #creativelifehappylife # nature art #tree #nothingisordinary #beauty #remember #spiritualjourney #madeinportland #madeinoregon #traveloregon #pnw (at Lan Su Chinese Garden)
