What a washout! Labor day and today were just chock full of liquid sunshine. Today didn’t bother me too much since it was a normal workday here in the studio, but yesterday was a bummer. It was our last day in Nags Head, NC (that’s the Outer Banks of NC for those of you unfamiliar with the town’s location or moniker) and being our last day it would’ve been nice to get to the beach one last time before summer retreats behind the steady advance of crisp frost and colorful leaves. Hopefully there will still be a few beach days this fall, but with our show schedule this fall spare time here on the farm is few and far away. But we can hope.
Speaking of schedules: I’ve started to add our fall schedule to the News Blog page of the site. Visit there for all the current info about dates, times and maybe even some promotions. Since we added the schedule we moved the last show’s images away, but I’m posting them here for continuities sake.
These are the images from the Small Friends Show on Nantucket this past July. I’ll be adding individual images into their respective categories as time permits.

So what did we do on a rainy back-to-school-back-to-work Tuesday? We created stuff! Specifically we finished up this custom commissioned 40″ Codfish (say that three times fast!)
And we assembled and shipped this piece for a client in Canada:
It is a wall mounted piece of driftwood with shorebirds perched on it – obviously. But this one was special due to the absolutely perfect way the driftwood lined up on the wall. It made it easy to orient and attach the birds, and is balanced so well it hangs with a single corrugated picture hanger. This is a special work, since I doubt we will be able to find driftwood exactly like it again. But finding new and unique bases for this type of piece is what keeps out work interesting, and hopefully keeps you, faithful reader and customer, coming back.
I’ll do some more updates later, but the rain has slacked off a bit, and it’s time to go and check the rain gauge to see if it’s hit ‘biblical’ yet.
Thanks for reading.
