Watchupto?
I haven't had time for much writing or even reading. Instead I've been getting to know a new partner and making wooden things.
A bench - the first of three, commissioned for the Artisan Square on market days. I'll be making the next two over the coming weeks.
My market stall lurks in the backround. You can see my mother on a stepladder.
A tray I made for a friend. The design is carved out of the background with a Dremel, and filled with black woodfiller, then sanded smooth. The colours are layers of varnish stain.
I make several of these a week.
And several trillion of these...
In March people begin to think about their gardens, so it is often our best month (after August, of course, height of tourist season.) I'm working hard just to keep on top of the stock we sell weekly. When things slow down as they inevitably do in May, I'll think about having me a wee break. :)
