The gift has been given!

So now I can show you the secret squirrel project I had on hold all this time.  I was commissioned to do the Hogwarts Crest on a plaque.  Oh, it came out lovely.  I mixed some inks into the varnish to get some of the colors of the houses done.

Suddenly the blue don't look so bad, do it?
Enlarge it for the view.

Very happy.  So there you go.

How exciting!

As a result of seeing the Sekhmet box, a different friend has asked me to do an African deity themed box!  The thing that makes this even better is that he himself is an artist, so he can provide HIS OWN artwork to make the box even more personal.

Very excited about this project.  It likely won’t come to fruition for many months as these things go…but the concept of making something that personal is an honor, truly.  Looking forward to that.

I’m off to further my shamanic training, so there won’t be work updates for a few weeks most likely…though I may share some images of the grounds of where I’ll be.

See you soon!
