Looks Like Me?


An unnamed Blog reader thinks this might make a nice avatar for me. Make sure you check the link to see what the design company wrote about this canvas to see why.

I actually prefer Our Lady of Abundant Caffiene.
I'll get even!

Blocked Again

The snowman's edges are getting a little frayed during the blocking process (this is the main reason you see such wide margins on painted canvases and why they are covered with masking tape or artist's tape or bias tape or sewn) but he is much squarer. The lower right corner still sticks out like a snail's foot but this I can hide in finishing. I should add that a professional finisher (or someone who is a lot pickier than I am) wouldn't settle for this and would block a third time. But I'm not going to bother because I know I can compensate for the slight distortion in the ornament.

I hope to take him off the stretcher bars and assemble my finishing supplies tonight.
