Secret Corners: Hiding in Plain Sight
The Enchanted Forest. In the hidden corners of the world, sweet mysteries abound. NOTE: I created this piece quite a while ago, using a rubbing technique (a block of concrete) to get the texture of the tree bark. :-)

Almost hidden within a pile of maple leaves and tucked into the roots of a tree, stands a solitary, spiky haired creature of unknown origin. Arms outstretched, with a slight scowl on its face, it appears to be thinking of something important - perhaps what it would like to eat for lunch. Far back, lurking behind a tree, a young girl is watching. Drawn in black, white and gray graphite/pencil. NOTE: This description is created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Custom Art Framing, a 🧵

Since I'm fully retiring from my semi-retired part-time job (2 - 6hr days/wk) at the end of the month I thought I'd frame several items for myself while I can still get an employee discount.

I invite you to join me for the ride!

This is the chop room where we chop the molding legs to size. I'm chopping in-stock molding. Black looks best with B&W photos & is also inexpensive. 1/12

Color landscape photo showing a narrow white workbench attached to a wall. On the bench are five stacks of cut to length black (between 8-12 inches) molding used to frame picture. In the upper right corner of the bench is a stack of three wood planks the top one has metal knife blades attached to it and a plastic card that reads, "Apex Saw Works, Dull." A sign on the wall reads, "Do not leave molding on the counter! Pit it back in the correct spot or cut it down for a ready made. See sign for length needed for ready mades." Below and somewhat tucked under the bench top is a green colored metal machine that is a foot operated chopper for chopping the forty-five degree angles on the end of the picture frame molding. There's a trashcan to the right under the bench and a white bucket on the left with blocks of wood in it.
