I hang out with people who spoil me


(not actually a bib for eating cake, though I suppose it helped too... I forgot a smock for painting class so this worked instead)

Easter at my sister's

She created a beautiful setting for us, with so many cheery details (and fresh green paint on the walls!)
A perfect celebration of spring.

Working out details on a preliminary drawing - once G has all the background elements figured out and in place where he likes them, he'll use the lightbox to add a background to his final artwork (the picture of Buttercup at left).

It's that time!

Polish Paper Chandelier craft made by G, myself and family for a decoration in Vieques - took lots of photos because I wanted to make sure everyone's work was represented
(idea found here)

sneak peek!

Sneak peek at the project that has been our focus for the last month - a new method we've developed for carving decorative wood panels from our own pencil drawings, using the CNC machine:

This is unfinished mahogony - the designs will pop even more after they're glazed (with a slightly darker tint to bring out the details) and finished. These will become tall pantry doors on either end of a tropical kitchen (with approx. 12' between them) - more to come...

somehow these two sights summarize our week pretty well
