Lloyd seems to think his Dad’s Birthday was Wednesday. I contend that out calendar says it’s today. So, to cover our bases: Happy perhaps-but-probably-not-belated Birthday, Lloyd Sr.!
(Also, Happy Early Birthday to Lloyd’s Mom!)

There is another Marxhausen show coming up, and Lloyd and I spent a bit of time deciding on how to display some of the pieces. One cross that has been welded together really needs to be hung, but there isn’t a way to do it that won’t look weird, in my humble opinion. I guess we could have a loop welded on the back, but metalwork is not my strong suit. Messing with wood is.
There was a piece of 2×4 that Marxhausen must have burned, so I thought I could chisel out a brackety-thing. Lucky for me, I have regular chisels and a set of tiny chisels from a pumpkin-carving experiment decades ago.
It went alright. It’s not perfect, but I assure myself that it’s just a holder, not the actual art.
This is it all wedged together.
I touched up my gouges with fire so the exposed raw wood wouldn’t look so obvious, plus I just really like burning stuff.
I don’t have a finished photo because I am lazy.

For no really good reason, I am cranky. (Well, I have good reasons, but you’re not supposed to complain on the internet.) Anyway, I am not in the mood to write anything except this excuse.
Have a good Tuesday, everyone.

This weekend has been cold and misty and I loved it! This coming week is supposed to be hot. Bleh. Double bleh.
That’s all I have to say about that.

My morning began bright and early. Elaine (Mrs. Royuk) hosted a royal wedding party that began at 4 a.m. That’s right. 4 a.m. I got there a little after four and there were already so many people there! She did it up right: paper tiaras with photos of the happy couple, delicious food, a variety of beverages and wonderful people. It was great! (I am wearing the fascinator I made a t preschool.)
Later in the morning, Lloyd and I delivered some art to the gallery, then home for t.v. and a nap. Late in the day I worked on the stupid bathtub drain that has been crazy slow for a while now. It took several tries and most of a jug, but it got ‘er done. I’ve been Facetiming with Brad when I do chores. I highly recommend it. 😀

So, I have not followed the royal nuptials very closely, but I’m going to watch the wedding with a fun group on Saturday. My class knows a little about Queen Elizabeth – we’ve seen her portrait on coins during our study of money. Anyway, under the flimsy disguise of ‘social studies’ or something like that, I want to make fascinators: those crazy hairpieces that the fine ladies wear to such events.
Their construction should be exceedingly simple…….
