FINISHED PRINT

I finished up the carving on my print for the Kindness Puzzle Collaborative Print.  I think it turned out pretty good, with a minimum of mistakes.  The dogs enjoyed hanging out with me out by the picnic table.

Then we moved up onto the deck and continued with the napping, until it got too hot to stay outside.

Once inside, Jax continued with his nap.

It was a good day for dogs.

STARTED ON PRINT

I sewed a few rows on the Bars Quilt.  Still have a few more to go.

I made a backing for the fish tank, sides too.

Then, I took my carving tools: chisels and an exacto knife out to the picnic table and spent a pleasant few hours working on the print for Maria's monumental collaborative puzzle on Kindness.  I didn't quite get done.  But I did better than I thought I would, considering I haven't done anything like this in years.

MY PIECE OF THE PUZZLE

Here's my contribution to Maria Arango's Monumental Collaborative Puzzle Print "The Fantastic Garden".

Of course, I'm down to the wire, it's due back to Maria on August 31st. 

When I think of a garden, I think of peace and serenity.  So, I had to go with a Buddha statue.  We have one in our front yard under our huge Cedrus Deodora tree.  I love it.  Our yard is very peaceful and a nice relaxing place to be.
