Ah

The second floor with its built-ins.
Turning into extended studio space. Demanding buyers are asking for more work.
Don't need to work or rent but making the stuff is so much fun.

About Me

My photo
Christian Herman
St. Louis, Missouri, United States
I appreciate, document, and collect historic face brick. I'm a maker of many things which I sell in my Etsy shop. I love the challenge of materials and design. Most of my work involves upcyling. I dream about design and resolve design issues in my dreams. Life is magical. I'm not available to answer questions via email about bricks. I'm rabidly possessive of my time. What I know is disclosed here and I wish you luck in your research.
