This week, the picture below came up on our Facebook memories. Flashback to 2017 and our first art show at Imagine in old town Manassas. This was the first time we shared some of our art with anyone outside of friends and family. It's nice to be heading back to do a market on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 12:00–4:00 PM at Harris Pavilion in historic Manassas. Just across the street from where we started. We will be a vendor at Equality Prince William Pride 2026. I hope you will come out and see how our art has transformed over the last 9 years.

Here's a work in progress carving. Every time I bring one to a market it sells. So I'm going to make a couple of them. This one is spalted maple with a bit of char! Next step is a wipe down with tea to bring out the tannins and then another sanding and satin finish. More pictures tomorrow.
