A Busy Christmas Holiday
Emily and I have been busy with our hobbies this Christmas. You’ll recall that Emily is a crocheter extraordinaire and I’ll tell you that after seeing the latest Star Wars episode this week, she didn’t waste much time in designing a BB-8 of her own.
There are more and better photos on her blog, mspremiseconclusion. You can find a link at the side of this page. Tell her I sent you.
In less exciting news, Mervin got a crate to carry. I made the crate by cutting 1/4″ thick slabs of basswood and gluing them together to form a closed box. I did this so that the crate would be hollow and less heavy for the sculpture ( not for Marvin ). After the glue dried, I carved the slats into the crate for this effect.
