The Power of Possibility
A while back I shared about this cross I created for my friend and client, Nancy. She had me engrave it with the word, ‘Possibility.’
The CED Process
Repurposing is often an emotional and nostalgic process, so as with all of my projects, we start by establishing connection – between me and the client, the client and their materials, the intention and the new piece.
