On Friday I participated in the first ever Tecumseh Art Walk. I was located in “That Used Book Store“. It’s starting to become a trend because I also display work at the Book Abbey in Adrian. The owners of the store are the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They let me put nail holes where ever I wanted and were happy to see art on the walls. Tomorrow I’m picking up half of the work I have on display and leaving the rest.
Today K and I drove down to Toledo to the Woodcraft store near the corner of Reynolds and Airport Hwy. My printmaking mentor, Carlos Tobar, told me about the place. I had been wanting to begin woodcutting for a long time. At the store, I asked the salesman about a hundred questions. He was very informative and even showed me how to sharpen tools. I walked out with a starter set of Flexcut carving tools. Anyway, I thought I would buy local since they were very knowledgeable and offer free classes on Thursday evenings. They didnt sell any finished boards there so I’ll be purchasing some Shina wood from McClains some time this week. My first project will be a series of Maple leaves for a friend of mine. If I fail miserably with the wood I have a ton of lino to use just in case.
