We are going north at the end of the week. We have two nights at the Walker River Nevada State Park. Berlin Ichthyosaur State Park is not far by dirt road from the Walker River for photographing a great ghost town. Then up to Washoe Lake Nevada State Park for three nights. Washoe Lake is right below Lake Tahoe making a it great day trip. Then back next week home down CA 395.

Art o Mat has excepted my copper bookmark. The inspiration for Art-o-mat came to artist Clark Whittington in June 1997. He’s recycling cigarette machines to sell art work the size of a pack of cigarettes. He’s gone from 1 machine to about 200 machines across the country. In 2013 I found two Art o Mat recycled cigarette machines in the Cosmopolitan Hotel Casino Las Vegas, NV. I sent in some of my ceramic tiles and they were excepted for Art o Mat machine. A year later my back went out and gave up ceramic. I will be trying to get this shipment of copper bookmarks out this week.

I’m using a rolling presses to cut copper feathers out of sheet copper. Then I process the copper with household chemicals to get patinas that can be deep purple, dark blue and turquoise. The copper patina is sealed to the bookmark with lacquer. The bookmarks are then attached to a 5” x 7” card and are great for candy vending machines.
