Tonight's Fog

9/29/2016

0 Comments

 
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.

Used Tool Cabinets

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.

Shadows on the wall

9/23/2016

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.

Flax art store closing

9/18/2016

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.

Day in the Studio

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.
