or those visiting for the
first time, welcome to Stonemice. Sharing a passion for design and building by hand. Growing up around a community that celebrated independent thought and cold weather, nearly everyone I met was either building, planning, or designing, houses with one thing in common. Handmade. Interesting that it takes a grid-locked economy to suggest these techinques are "cool" again, while they been in use for centuries around the globe, or hidden from view. My husband Jeff is very project oriented and with both us working with this enthusiam, we've been able to complete our 5th restoration which features Italian stuccos, and American Clay here in Calumet, Michigan. One creation that remains as mysterious and functionable as ever, is the native american indian tepee which I lived in, and built, for over ten years. Our latest green project in Calumet, Michigan: 2010 Lily's Organic Market and Cafe, 1921 General Store: 2008 Stone Farm House Stonehouse Project 2000-2005 Bohemia Printing Northern Michigan's 100% Ecological, Ever- Expanding, Screen Printing Company |

"Took myself a little trip out there on the road. Minnesota once Lakota - riding the plateaus. And I dreamed of Indians out there fighting for their lives, thought about the pioneers. Gets awful cold out there at night...." 'Austin Chronicles 9th Book of Songs Aj |
