What I did today: Finished my Owl and the Pussy Cat, I do believe! Started the Hindenloopen box. Up to score on that one.
What I learned today:
***JoSonja: don't worry if you don't sell a piece of work...#1, three years is not too long to wait for it to sell. BUT,#2, consider taking it home and antiquing it, and it will usually sell. #3, raise the price.
***Quote from Kafe Fassett: "be emotional about color."
***"Kas" is the dutch word for armoire
***There are two kas in the NY Met Museum that have single or few fruit completely surrounded by grape clusters. Jo thinks they may have inspired Peter Ompir in his artistic style.
***Nils Ellingsgard says that true marbleizing is an art in itself. Therefore when using it for an accent on a folk piece, make it a very fakery faux marbling! And this we proceeded to do on our hindenloopen school box..
.
Newsflash: Next year's furniture piece may be the nutcracker box. This is a tin piece that Jo painted last year, but you would have had to see it to know what I'm talking about. Has the whole story of the nutcracker ballet on it.
