As you can see in this picture I have most of the red on the panel. To get the red to look like a true red over the white it requires many coats. I think I've got 5 coats of red at this point but if you don't put enough you can sort of see white through the red and it doesn't look right to me. So the rest of the day today I will be working on the "points" of the red design with a fine brush and assuming that gets done I will move on to the black formline.

I was talking to my brother earlier today and he mentioned he has a piece available that at the moment has no home. As most of you probably know, I don't usually have much available as most of my work is commission pieces. So I asked him if I could put it here on the site and here we are.

The piece is a "Speaker" Mask and his dimensions are 17" high by 10" wide by 9" deep. That is a very big piece as far as masks go and as you can see in the pictures he has done a great job with a clean finish. It is carved out of red cedar and has cedar bark rope around the edges. For a piece of this size and finish he has an excellent price on it of $1050 which includes shipping (in North America). I would be more than happy to answer any questions about this piece. I have put the pictures in the Available section as well for a better view.

I almost forgot, I will have my booth set up at the Moss Street Market tomorrow. It's been 4 weeks since I last went so it should be a fun day. I may even bring the panel for something to work on but that depends on weather. Feel free to come by and enjoy the market........there's lots of great vendors and some awesome food as well!
