What can you imagine?

Sean and I will be joining the hottest new thing in town - "FOUND". It is the new marketplace on Cherry Street that will feature numerous antique dealers, upholstery artists, vintage clothiers and us, of course.
We will offer up a whole plethora of art and functional pieces made mostly from discovered elements. And we are calling it "FIGMENTS". Imagine that!
We spent the whole afternoon designing and working on the sign for our space. We cut all the background letters out of 1/4" mdf. Sean took over the scroll saw - something he had never done before. Actually, it was a new scroll saw and this was it's first time being used. I gotta say that he did a fantastic job. You can see part of the first letter on the table at the lower right.
Tomorrow, the letters get affixed to a really unusual old plank and then embellished. That part is still a bit of a surprise, so you will have to check back for the update and photo.
We were over there today checking on the progress. The partners are working non-stop to get the place ready. The interior is almost finished and the sign is already on the front of the building. What an awesome transformation!
Can't wait until we can invite the public!
