An especially intense fog settled on the city, so I attempted to do a little night photography, which I find to be the most challenging. The results are really grainy and not perfect, but regardless I'm happy.

Tonight I spent a few hours going to the park to collect more branches for my current torch project. Then I spent the next 6 hours cleaning some used tool cabinets that I recently received. I also cut a few drawer linings. Then I cleaned an old toolbox that I absolutely love.     Today the sun was making amazing rippling shadows. I attempted to take some pictures of my hand shadow, which did not turn out great. However, I decided to use Photoshop and greatly increase the contrast and was delighted with the final results.  Tonight is a little sad. It is the last evening that my local art store is open. They were featuring an art show in the large back room featuring a few of my friends' artworks. Randy's work was incredible due to it having built a large layer of ice and a puddle of water. Zen Du's work was exciting because of her use of unconventional materials.

My finished collage  Ken's finished collage...fantastic!  Jo's work in progress  Airy's work in progress  Airy's work in progress  Airy's folders of collage materials. Funny cause it looks like a finished piece!  Another of Airy's folders Today I was walking to an appointment and the building was undergoing some repairs and painting. I took many pictures of this ready-made art!  This torch didn't turn out the best, but I'll clean it up later.  I also added even more crackle medium to the headrest. It's a very slow process because I have to do one side at a time.  Today I carved another torch and reshaped a couple of the old ones. They keep getting better and better.  |
