I have been pushing towards a few deadlines over the last several weeks and, while it’s all been fun work, I was really ready for a change of pace!

upholstering a broken cane-backed chair…
…because you know you wanted to do that at some point in time, right? Top Google search -“How do I upholster a broken cane-backed chair?” Well, here is your answer!

be the artist you are
At the end of my post on Friday I shared, “I feel like I’m finding my legs a bit as an artist…trying to embrace the artist I am, not what I wish I was (if that makes sense.)” Well, it did make sense to several of you and I’ve been thinking about that statement and your responses a lot.
