| After a ten-month gestation period, "The Featured Act" was finally born. The band took to the stage in Northbrook, IL on May 22, 2010. Here is a long view of what the band looks like in the gazebo, alongside the home of their owners. | ||

And Traps, the Big Lips, on sticks! | |
| After we installed the Featured Act, we headed to Southern Illinois to talk to some folks there about a sculpture for the front of their home - which we installed this August, when we returned to the midwest. It's an abstract flower vase filled with corn, soy beans and cattails we've called "Soy Ya Like POP Corn!", an admittedly crazy title for an equally crazy piece. The sedate landscape of Petersburg, IL will never be the same! |

| And just in case you thought we had stopped doing furniture altogether, here is a recent commission we did for some folks in Indiana. It's a sofa table/cabinet with 6 drawers, an inlaid glass top so that you can see into the drawers, and 4 different legs. We call the piece "You're Drawers Are Showing!" |
