Why have just one picture, when you can have two at once?
I say, why have a phoenix if there's no flames to go with it?

Keeping Time
It works! I had to hollow out the back of it quite a bit since the clock workings were meant for a 3/8" thickness, not 3/4", but it works!
I think I may get myself some black paint for the hands so they show up better from a distance...
Now, I need to find out if there are clock workings for 3/4" surfaces before I get any special orders for these things!

Only time will tell
I have in progress a piece that I hope will work out in the end. Unfortunately there's no telling till I'm completely done.
It's a clock! I bought a kit for the clock workings and I'm burning the clock face for the pretty. The unknown here is whether or not I can successfully assemble a functioning clock when all is said and done.
Keep your fingers crossed!

Art in the Garden, complete
Another successful event, and another five wood burnings found new homes! I think I'll have to do another one similar to this:
It was strange to have a booth all to myself. Usually, when I do events, I combine with my sister-in-law and her jewelry. It helps on the cost of the booth space as well as more help to run to booth for the length of the event. For this one, my husband was able to help for most of the time - plus we had great neighbors! All good things to make for a happy weekend.
And I am happy to report that even with this much floor space, there were times when people were filing through in a line to be able to see everything. :)

Ridiculous fun
Looks like I'll have some prime entertainment to enjoy for the next couple of weeks while I restock my wood burnings... I've got a season of 'Xena: Warrior Princess' coming to me. LOL
I wonder if it'll affect what I choose to burn...?
