White Wednesday

Many years ago,

more than I care to admit,
I took home this wooden box.
As many pieces that have followed me home,
it came without a purpose or a reason...

I tried to work on it many times,
but it always seemed like a huge work
and I was never able to imagine the final product.

About 5 years ago got a wooden applique
and coats and coats of putty...
only promises, nothing concrete!
3 Wednesdays my wooden box
made the sad trip from the garage to the curve...
and those same nights the trip back to the garage.

Last week it finally happened,
out with the applique,
lots and lots of sanding,
primer
and of course, white paint.

My wooden box and I were re-connecting.

What better way for my transferware collection
to make the trip LA-Buenos Aires
than inside of my very sturdy wooden box?

1122...our address here in Cali

4...the people embarking in the adventure....

Once we settle,
my wooden box will be perfect as a coffee table...
the move from a 2400 sq. ft. home to an apartment half the size
involves some creative storage!

Thank you Kathleen for White Wednesday!

Reasons to blog...

Someone asked me not long ago why I blog...

That's easy to answer...

Because it inspires me.

Because it helps me to look at objects from a different angle.

Because it has pushed me to learn and try new techniques.

Because it has allowed me to connect with a lot of creative people.

And of course...
because blogging is fun and addictive!!
