TRUE LOVE

True Love

Not sure what went wrong here…..maybe things just got too hot. Or maybe it wasn’t hooked up right. That is the way it is in real life…..you never know till your throw the switch.


World News:

I try not to watch the news too much but lately the events in North Africa have me tuning in more than usual. Other news... the root cause of our economic woes has finally been identified. All this time I thought it was because of all the stupid poor people that bought houses they could not afford, well I was wrong. We now know the real problem is the school teachers and their unions that are bleeding America dry. Who knew ? Once we get these teachers under control `things will be much better.

And now a word from our sponsor

Commercial announcement

Next month I will be joining forces with my son Big Dutch on Etsy.com

Our Etsy shop will give art lovers the opportunity to buy original works and prints without having to travel to a show or gallery. To ease the process of separating you from your hard earned cash we will accept Paypal payments.

Purchases will be shipped world wide with postpaid delivery for customers in the U.S.

Stay tuned for details on the “Grand Opening” of “The Nally Boys” shop.

New photos of Machine 22 will be posted this weekend

Number 22 shows first signs of life !

It has been a half century or more since these tubes were tossed aside as obsolete but here they are sparkling as never before. Not sure if this art or just crazy, maybe it is crazy art…what ever it is sure fun to do.

More pictures in a few days.

BEHIND SCHEDULE

NOW MONTHS BEHIND SCHEDULE

When I started Machine 22 last Valentine’s day the plan was to have it finished in September, more or less.

Not finished. But progress has been made, the top section is ready for assembly. The tubes need to be fixed in place and then a bit of finish up painting. The small hearts will be moved up a couple inches.

By Valentine’s day I should have the lights wired properly (they are only temporarily rigged now) and ready to switch on.
It has taken months to get the lights figured out but last night I did a test lighting and I must confess this is the coolest thing I ever made. It will take a little work but as soon as I have a good picture of the machine lit up I’ll post it. It looks much different with the lights on. The complications and all the rework and restarts were worth dealing with.

Meanwhile…..freezing rain, snow, sleet and more freezing rain are on the menu for today. All on top of the foot of snow we got last week things will get ugly by morning. I’ll get this picture posted now just in case the power goes out, there is ice everywhere and on everything.

Thanks for visiting…….stay home today……stay warm.
