A good day in the studio
by Tony Peters on December 2, 2011
In general this week was horrible I got Gastro and lost a half my remaining class days to finish the pair of sculptures I'm working on.......however today was good I got about 3 hours of alone time in the studio, just my my tools (a pair of angle grinders with wood cutting/shaping disks) a block of wood and a dust collector......... I put about 5 inches of chips in the dust collector and got a good start on the last piece. they are a dancing couple I call them bride and groom the groom is nearly complete I have another 8 hours on the bride.

Thanks Scott, I finish up the power tool portion of the sculpting the Bride today and turned some tool handles on the Lathe. It was a fun and productive afternoon in the studio though I am coated in Sawdust and in desperate need of a shower

the storm was past people were starting to move around and then I hear what sounds like a gunshot coming from the south east corner of our house......we walk out side and a tree half a block away crashed into the power lines ripping my transmission line off the house along with a a bunch of siding.

OK one of the more enjoyable part of my job is the fact that I get to drive overseas. Part of this is due to the fact that I have had an international diving permit for 7 years now and another part is that I am actually used to driving on the wrong side of the road. (3 years in Japan). Go »thursdays are my life

I am exhausted...10 hours of sleep each night broken only twice for meds and yet I feel the need to sleep all day....I can barely stay awake for 2-3 hours before I fall asleep in my chair. Go »

It's looking good so far. Sometimes taking a long break to be creative and focus your mind on a project can be just what you need to relieve stress. Kelly speaks often of the therapeutic feeling she gets sometimes while working on crafts with her hands. We spent one night of Gothic Earth constructing voodoo dolls, and one guy at the table, the least inclined to indulge in this sort of thing, said it made him feel so relaxed and happy after an aggravating day at work. I say keep at this bride & groom and feel better. :-)
