My six year old son is into chess lately. I don’t like playing chess but I would like to encourage my son to do so. I think it is good for developing your planing and strategical mind. Anyway, I decided to build him a chess board and this is what I came up with.

Woo-hoo one of my pieces was featured in Shark Week Treasury

Boston T Line Subway scroll - Letting it dry

Here is a photo of a custom train scroll with destinations of the Boston T Line that I am making for a client.  I took this photo after spraying the canvas with a water-based acrylic coating to protect it from scuffs and scratches.  The gloss will dissipate when the acrylic  dries up.   I will wait until tomorrow for the protective coating to cure before I stretch the scroll on 1 1/2 inch thick gallery wrap stretcher bars.

The Canvas size is 24″ x 64″.  The final size of the scroll after stretching it on gallery wrap bars will be 20″ x 60″.

The image below is digital mock up of a new triptych design I am working on that will soon be added to my Modern Canvas Etsy shop.  Each panel will measure 10.5 by 36 inches.

Inspired by the music I grew up with.  This is a 9 panel canvas giclee celebrating the arrival of summer.  Each panel is 8″x8″ and stretched on 1.5 inch gallery stretcher bars.

I just opened a new Etsy shop for my giclee canvas prints.  Here are a few of them:

We are currently in Alpha  mode and would like to invite a few good Etsians to test our newest feature and give us your opinions, suggestions & constructive criticisms.

So go ahead,  create an account and submit your “bestest” photos of your handmade awesomeness.
