Surf Board Project... ready for grout!
The PieceMaker Surfboard Bench is ready to be grouted! I was going to grout it this past week, but there was only so much that I could get done in a day, so it had to be postponed.
I'm eager to grout it now though... can't wait to see it all come together!
There will only be 3 grout colors on this piece: black for the water, gray for the rocks, and I'm still totally undecided about what color to grout the creatures.
I will touch base with the PieceMakers this morning, and see what they think.

Autumn Art!!
What a beautiful time of year it is... the trees are changing color, leaves are starting to fall & crunch under foot when you take a walk, Halloween decorations are appearing, recipe books are coming down off the shelf as people start preparing their Thanksgiving menus, and children are all abuzz with plans for trick-or-treating. Artists everywhere are inspired by these things, and PieceMakers are no exception! Here is just some of the wonderful Autumn-inspired artwork (some for sale!) by PieceMaker members.
