17 Days at Waldo Lake [Photo Essay]

As many of you know, our copperwork is very inspired by nature. We love nothing more than to take a few days to immerse ourselves in the beauty of our natural world in order to find new and exciting themes for our art. Recently, we embarked into the wilds of Waldo Lake, and we photographed our journey to share with you as we settle back into our usual routine.
