30 days of Christmas-y lino prints
Let’s try this again, but this time with a theme!
30 days of Christmas-y lino prints
June project
In June, I worked on making a bench.
I chose the simplest bench pattern out there for some instant gratification; this style is called the Aldo Leopold bench. The parts were acquired from Home Depot’s 70% off rack + my random stash. I used Sector67’s woodworking shop to cut my lumber down to spec.
Total time spent building the thing: 30 minutes.
Total time spent sealing the thing: way more than 30 minutes.
Time spent walking it down a 1/2 mile long, bumpy, overgrown road: I don’t want to talk about it.
It will be interesting to see how well this holds up outdoors.
May Project
In May, I worked on my styrofoam sculpting technique — just in time to participate in the Fools Flotilla:
April Project
In April, I decided it was *TIME*. Time to finish a project that was a long time in the making. I posted this post back in May of 2015. Here’s how it ended up:
Art Every Day – Day 56
Made Latvian Easter eggs with the family. IN THE SUN. On a porch. It was fantastic!
Art Every Day – Day 55
I did not make this during the “Art Every Day” BUT I re-located it and made sure it was solidly assembled during AED 😀
Art Every Day – Day 54
I got tired of laying my prints out all over every flat surface, so after a little internet research, I realized I can make my own hanging drying rack for under $5!
Art Every Day – Day 53 – mat cutter
With the help of the great folks over at Sector67, I finally assembled my (formerly free-wheeling) mat cutter into a more stable tool. It’s way way more fun to cut mats now than it was before!
(even if I maybe miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight have assembled this sliiiiiiiiiightly backwards…. ooops. I’m still debating whether it’s worth the effort to swap it the right way or not….)
