Stay Safe, Get Vaccinated, Keep Masking, Be Kind.

News from the Shop:

I spent August experimenting with repairing bowls that cracked while drying with acrylic resin.  After a lot of learning I have several KINTSUGI-ish bowls, a new appreciation for eye protection and the decision that cracked bowls are really just someone's kindling.  Kintsugi is the Japanese technique of repairing cracked porcelain with gold.

I also recovered some older bowls when we sold the family cottage which I re-turned and finished with the buffing wheel.  Speaking of which, I am now using a buffing wheel and hard wax for the outside finish of bowls and other items.  And the finish is amazing!!!!

New product:  This spring a weaving friend (GreenAppleCrafts) asked me to make some scarf broaches to go with her woven scarves, you will be able to see them at either my booth or hers this autumn.  There is a picture on the Gallery page.

Paper Planting Pot Jigs for Miltonvale Park Senior's Program. 

 In March I got a request from PEI for some jigs to make paper planting pots.  They had seen them available on-line in the autumn but were now out-of-stock.  Going from a picture and a reference to using a tomato paste tin for size I was able to build them a couple over the weekend.  A Canada Post package later and they have them ready for their program.

Now that's a great little project - something new, neat, and benefiting others.

Happy Planting folks.
