FRESH FROM THE STUDIO!

Santa's Workshop???

This organized mess is what happens in the middle of production.  Projects with different deadlines, waiting their turn.  Last week was wild, the dust was flying, all the stars were aligned and several pieces were installed for the holidays, with a sigh of relief !

I wish you all a very beautiful and Happy Holiday Season with all the stars aligned.

CONTEST: Name the Andi-Le “Stools” & WIN Your Very Own!

Andi-Le is looking to give our one-of-a-kind handcrafted stools a signature name truly deserving of their quality and style. Even though these beauties are technically called “stools,” we’d like to hear your creative suggestions on a catchy word or phrase that would perfectly match their unique charm. The person who comes up with the perfect name will *WIN* one of the Andi-Le “Stools” valued at $950!!!

Now for a bit about our stools:

The “Stools” are made of recycled Aspen logs and other indigenous trees to the Aspen Colorado area. Some are hand carved, others are left natural but enhanced to bring out the unique qualities of each one.  The painted or stained finish is lacquered for a fun and cool contemporary look. Cushions are made of either a faux Mongolian lamb, or a leather/suede shag.

On the “Kente and Dot” design we use Faux Mongolian lamb cushions, and on the “Shaggy 1 and Shaggy2″ we incorporate black leather/suede shag cushions.

They are fabulous anywhere within your home, and make for a perfect conversation piece when not in use.

Here is what you need to do to submit your ideas for your chance to WIN an Andi-Le “Stool”…

1. Visit the Andi-Le Facebook page. Click LIKE, if you haven’t already done so.
2. On this post or any subsequent posts regarding the contest, please submit your suggestion.

3 SHARE US WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!! While you’re still on the Andi-Le Facebook page, please click Share (listed below the fan page picture). On the Share This Page pop-up box, select Friends and share our page with all of your friends who would be interested in learning about Andi-Le and submitting their own ideas to us for a chance to WIN a magnificent stool.

The contest will be open until we finally find that one name that absolutely says it all! If you win, we’ll send you a Stool!

Note: Each Andi-Le stool is one-of-a-kind and the winner will WIN a similar “Stool” to the ones in these images.

Thanks!

Sparks Are Flying

FRESH FROM THE STUDIO!

The sparks are flying in the Andi-Le studio this week.  Iron accents are fabricated  for a few of the commissions. The scent of burning steel gets my creative juices flowing.

Stay tuned for the finished products.

Ride Like the Wind

There is nothing like a morning horseback ride, Just me and my trusty mount, Chiquita. We have years and miles behind us and a solitary (most times) trail in front of us. I use this time to feel the gratitude, calm down and be "in the Moment". My work is inspired by the natural beauty surrounding me. The flowers, the trees the smells, all change daily. Chirping birds, ground squirrels, butterflies and crickets run across the trail. We also see  elk, deer, grazing cattle and on one occasion, a bear. It is idyllic and I often feel that I am in a fabulous movie.

I feel so alive and connected, being a partner with this big beating heart and we do ride like the wind.

Ahhhhhh the open spaces

Breath it all in.
