On the Workbench: Still Lifes



Like many of you, I headed into the holidays at full speed. There's always so much going on - gifts to finish, shopping to do, items to ship - and no matter how much advance planning goes into the preparations, there are always two or three or seventeen things that come up at the last minute. Usually the two weeks right after Christmas would be when the studio would get cleaned and inventory would be done in preparation for getting our taxes finished. But this year, a little monkey wrench called "The Flu" got thrown into the works - and let me tell you, the capital F Flu is nothing to fool around with.

The result is that three weeks after Christmas, instead of having accomplished our year end tasks and new year's goal setting, our household is slowly climbing out of that haze that comes with having been really sick and reacquainting ourselves with the real world. In my case, that includes my studio, which I haven't seen in nearly a month. So here's an impromptu look at the condition of my studio, in the form of a few still lifes of my workbenches, untouched since the Christmas rush.

    1. Aww, thanks Shirley! That last photo is a pile of unfinished stuff, including a bunch of glass cabs I made that I haven't done anything with and some reticulated silver pendants that are waiting for some new chain. Is that the one you meant?
