Summer in the Hamptons- Everyone Comes Back!
You can tell its summer in the Hamptons when the population surges, the villages get crowded and old friends make an appearance. I was visited by this Snapping turtle who I first met when I was scouting a location for my studio. She is laying eggs in almost the same spot she chose three years ago. Nature is amazing! Her head is as big as my fist and her shell measures about 12″ long.
It is finally feeling like summer and I have been getting ready for a few events.
I have built two chairs for children. That are being donate to the fundraiser for the Ross School.
I have also been working on new planters for the Planters on and Off the Ground Show At the LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton NY. Here is a sneak peak of the scale models.
Enjoy the warm weather!
