Wholesale Order DONE!

I was commissioned to make 8 trays for some shops in Rhode Island. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Some of the maps are brand spankin' new, some are old. I think I like the old ones better,'cause they're a little funkier.

My goal in the next several weeks is to do some serious product development (make new stuff). My shop is starting to look a bit stale. I will always keep the font collection and the coasters, but I will be adding new candle holders, clipboards and key racks.

Key racks!

I plan to make more, different patterns(too many to think about) and I would like to use squared, not routed wood.



Speaking of pattern...I'm having a REALLY hard time thinking up new designs for trays. Keep with manufactured paper or create my own, albeit simple patterns? Stay with maps and old paper? I just don't know. I truly wish I had more time to experiment.

This is Shiya, my American Eskimo dog. She is such a contraction - she rambles down the road like a clumsy ox, but is afraid of the vacuum cleaner and thunder. She is wonderfully affectionate, but has been known to nip at a fast-moving child.
And she barks! And barks. And barks. If I go upstairs for a little while, she'll bark at me like I'm a stranger about to empty out the place. It doesn't matter that the door bell is broken, 'cause she'll let us know when someone is at the door.
