This, that and the other

The last couple of days has seen me doing a number of tasks including: cutting stone; melting metal; progressing small flatpack plinths; and printing letterpress cards.

I cut some Armadale cove stones in half for a future project Fiona has in mind; and did a rough cut of a cottage as well. See opening photo and the photo following. Regarding the cove stones it will be a matter of watch this space!!!

I wanted to make a few more sand-cast metal pyramids. As you can see from the photos below I managed to cast 7; and a few other forms as well.

For an art piece Fiona is working on for Scotland she wants 7 small plinths - four different sizes. We will need to take these over to Scotland so we have designed light weight but strong plywood plinths that can be pre-cut and painted and taken as luggage. In the photo below you can see the first three cut to size and sanded. We have tested paint on the first one I cut.

I went to Deckled Edge Press today where Fiona was working on some small letterpress poetry books. We needed to replenish the stock of some of our cards so today I managed to do a small run of three cards - Fiona had pre-cut the paper and printed our website on the back cover. Photo of proofs below.

Bits and pieces; but all contributing to our art life.
