I have finished an icon of St. Hilda, one of those powerful women of the English church c. 700. I believe she was there with me in the making of it--making her cuter than she probably was in real life, for one thing!
Stay tuned for the image coming up here in a few days.

Reception Desk on a Budget
I designed and built this new reception desk/cashier station for an art gallery and shop in Owosso, Michigan. The budget was not huge, so the choice was made to use economical materials (poplar and birch plywood). Fortunately the wood stain chosen for the piece, a translucent acrylic color stain, is a type of stain that evens out color variations in the wood while allowing much of the interesting grain patterns to show through.
Not shown are the many functional features behind the desk, providing for a cash drawer, filing cabinets, and shelf and drawer storage for office supplies and gift wrapping materials.
And by the way, if you happen to be in the Owosso area, be sure to stop by the Shiawassee Arts Council, an exceptional public arts center with a long and distinguished history of promoting the arts in the community and the surrounding area.
