Here are a few more joinery I learned to do in years prior. My recent foray into it has been very disappointing, mostly because I have no self discipline, so I’m including these to show I have accomplished something at point in some distant past. Maybe these will encourage me…
Ok, I totally screwed up. Sometimes you just gotta keep making the same mistakes over and over until you’re reat to learn the lesson. In my case, the lesson is to make the mortise first before cutting the pieces to the final size. Because it is too close to the…
I received a long piece of Douglas Fir used lumber. It might have been a part of house siding that got discarded. My scavenging coworker harvested it and gave it to me. I want to make a shadow box because the stash of shadow boxes that I have that were…
Our dance group finished another series for our flash mob that took place on Saturday March 3, 2018. It was a J Lo flash mob. Our teachers were Saville Gambol and Rachel Eckberg. Here are the cards and the happy recipients! Someday I will buy a better printer, I promise.
I signed up for this class. I’ve been wanting to take it since 2011, so here I am! I confess that I got furloughed on 1/22 and I totally forgot to come to class. (Stupid Congress decided to shut down the government for one day! Obama did everything better. Even…

The painting is progressing slowly. The face and the hands will be the toughest part, and I’m hoping painting them upside down will help me become less discouraged and keep at it. I’ve had to draw more grids to the face to make it easier. Otherwise, it will be even…
I’m starting a new painting. This is the first time I’ve touched paint in the last 3 years (if you don’t count painting the siding of my house). This idea has been brewing in my mind for the past 6 months, and it’s not leaving, so this has to be…
On this day, my group and I had a performance just outside of Asian Art Museum. Afterwards, I went to Asian Art Museum, and then decided to take advantage of my Academy of Sciences membership and took public transportation where I felt so at home again with my sketches. Just…
