Hi Everyone! I hope your week is off to a terrific start. The weather the last couple of days has been great. And I've been able to get a lot done, which is good since my first fall fair is in a month. I still have a lot to do but I'm beginning to cross things off my list. Do you remember the
frames I showed you the other day....well here's what I did with the two matching frames.
I took a piece of scrap luan, cut them to size to fit the frames, painted one English Ivy Green and the other a navy color that I mixed myself using Cobalt Blue and Black.
I took some hickory branches and cut them into slices of varying sizes.
Then I randomly glued them to the luan.
I painted the frames the same colors as the background since I
want the tree branch slices to stand out more than the color.
I put a sealer over the tree branch slices before I framed them.
A couple of unique art pieces that are more on the masculine side.
I've decided to make a line of items for my shop that are for the guys. I decided I needed to after a customer asked if I had anything for a gift for her son. And of course I didn't, so I'm trying to add some items. I have a few more things that I'm working on and hope to be able to share with you later in the week.
The weather is suppose to be great tomorrow. I have some yard work to do and then it's shop time. I have a bench to paint, a stand to build, custom ordered signs to make, and inventory build up to do. Not to mention laundry, groceries and a trip to the lumber yard for some boards. Now I need to get the base coats done for those custom order signs so I can work on the hand painting tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by.
