Art for ARC

On March 30th Larimer County's ARC will be having their Art for Arc event, and the Candle Log will be on the auction block.  If you're in the Ft. Collins, CO area swing by and check it out!

And a light using steel remnant cuttings from a crampon manufacturer.  After working with New Balance's fabric cuttings, I have been exploring some ideas using manufacturing remnants and was excited to try these out.  See if you can figure out what part of the crampon they're from . . .

The remnants before I started on them . . .
