Funny, the paint I ordered for the first piece above arrived in 6 separate shipments, more than a month late, with damaged nozzles. In the meantime, I tried out wood stains instead and I'm so happy with the result, I'm actually glad I didn't have the paint that was so hard to wait for. Nonetheless, I was still compelled to create Waves of Joy in Malachite - a really nice set of paint colors. I love it, but this may be the last I use paint for a while.

I also created a desk for the kids this month. It was a tough sell (they wanted to buy one online), but in the end, they're very happy with it. It was a high pressure, high stakes project!

Lastly, I continued my series of 12" portals with wood stain.
