December 9-16 entry. Shelf finally finished

Finally finished my floor to ceiling shelf in the laundry room. A lot of stop & starts due to short helpers and trips to the hardware store. The laundry room is quite small so I had to take a couple of picks to fit it all in.

 ...I add some goop...

 ...and define the face

birth of a painting

 I decided to start a painting of a local potter from Chalky Mount...first, the collage background...a carboard box had to bite the dust, the painting is 3' x 5'

Today first application of paint...this is unprimed canvas, which just slurps up the paint...

Here are 10 different goblets I made for a very lucky lady who ordered them... they were SO FUN to make!

Closed for the season

Light snow. Minus 2.9

When I was little I thought that the imprint that a rabbit made in the snow was of a single foot print instead of the entire body print that in fact leaves. My imagination of the type of rabbit that could make that foot-print was a little wild. I could never figure out how a rabbit of that size could be so hard to spot given all of the time i spent in the woods. I chalked it up to magical invisibility.
