Busy busy.............

in the Shop.  New black walnut bowl on the lathe....

And "Time is Murder" in progress....early days.

HOT HOT HOT.............

...and trying to keep cool as I peruse items in the shop......trying to decide what to add to my latest shrine in progress.

The Shop.............

..the Studio..in Snow. 

The Frugal..................

....Crow.  See?  There IS a place for those who seek the Corvid Side of Perspective.  Nestled in the heat of Rockaway Beach, The Frugal Crow is a fun non-pretentious shop with an ever shifting eclectic array of odds and ends...OOoooo SHINY THINGS........and yes....you can indeed purchase a crow figurine as well.   They even have a crow figurine art show once a year around Spring Break.

Visual Artists Studio.................
