Long time resident from Toledo passed away a couple of weeks ago. Rosie was a very special person to everyone whose life she touched. Her family called and asked if I would do the casket piece for her, they mentioned that her favorite flower was the “Yellow rose.” This is the first time that I have been able to get a picture of my work completed and in place. It was very overwhelming to say the least.

When I was designing the piece I found myself smiling as I remembered all the great visits I had had with her. She gave me a recipe many years ago that I use to this day on my venison for jerky but also use on my smoked halibut and salmon.
ROSIE you will be missed.

Giant Face Hibicus is something else huh? Never seen one that big ever.. Shannon picked from a lady’s yard! Yes with permission so I could put it on blog.. COOL HUH?

Funerals are a part of life and when creating a piece for someone special – the unique designs and extras added to make that special statement is very deep and meaningful for me. Being in this business I find that alot of the work I do is for people I know so therefore I am able to add that special touch to show the qualities of what that person stood for and was like.

This piece was done for a friend of mine who I went to school with. It was for her brother and he was my brother’s best friend and my friend too. To loose someone is not easy but to create something that is about that person..is very special in so many ways. The funeral was at the beach where he lived for many many years. He was loved the water and fishing. It was his life…. He will be missed.

Well Fall is here..MY Favorite Season of the year and it begins on my birthday.. COOL HUH! I have been decorating the shop up a bit.. something small out side on arch so that people enjoy as they pass by..

Logan Grove and I as he was given his candy bar bouquet that he won from FunTime Festival Drawing here at TwistedVine. Took a while to get it to him but most definitely well worth it…
