Pictures

Here are a few pictures of my work using my new light box.  I have a few things to tweak and a little learning to do. 

Light Box

Today I made a light box to take some pictures of my work.  The light box was pretty easy to put together.  Check it out.

I cut holes in the sides of the box and put tissue paper over them to soften the light.

The Finished Product





A Few Sketches

Last weekend I was sketching in my notepad.  Trying to come up with a few ideas for some coffee mugs.  I am trying to incorporate some architecture into my pieces.  I love details from old buildings.  So here are a few sketches that I really liked.

Here are a few pictures of details from old buildings in San Francisco.

Flower Pots

With the warmer weather this weekend I was motivated to start making pots.  Since I was thinking Spring I thought I would make some flower pots and bud vases.  It felt good to be making again.  I am looking forward to this weekend to really get moving. 

New Shelves

I put up three shelves and a new dry erase board today.  I don't like to work in clutter so hopefully these shelves will help keep my work spaces clean.
