Incredible journey


Ah! 
These are slightly bigger than the backer board I'm using.
So, you're seeing a slight bit of my studio and easel.
I am very pleased with this one.
My precious husband Chris managed to use a router to cut near perfect circles.
He made these for the 19.5-inch boards I've had in my studio for about two years. 
They make a heavy piece, but so lovely to behold.
His "frame" is about an inch in width and about 3/4 inch deep.
Perfect for my needs!

Chris also cut from the scraps 11 more to be constructed and used probably for Peter Anderson.
He bought another sheet of Luan to use for backing the new circles.
They still have a lot of work to get them ready to paint.
They must be sanded, mounted, sanded again then Kilz, then acrylic paint to make them white.
I simply will not need any more rounds for the National Shrimp Festival.
I took an inventory last night and I've already completed over 25 of them!
I have 11 more to put under my brush.
There are six more already cut, ready to be sanded, edged, mounted, then painted.

I'm dreading the varnishing, but I must do that this week.
The rounds are taking over the studio for sure!
I pray you're not getting bored with them!
