Miscellaneous Things

Thing 1:

The Flicker Lamp is complete. (It uses the slimmed down junction box.)

I call it Flicker Lamp just because of the light bulb choice.

Thing 2:

The next project is started. Plenty of moving parts on this one.



Thing 3:

I've submitted the original Learning Pieces #1, now known as "The Counter" for jury review for an exhibit called Art from the Heartland 2016.  I should know in about a week if it will be accepted for the show.

Thing 4: 

This helped me discover the CaFe website  https://www.callforentry.org where there are countless opportunities to submit art for shows. The only thing slowing me down is that most of them have an application fee.

Good photography makes the difference

Most of the pictures I use are just snap shots which are sufficient for sharing a general impression of items I'm interested in talking about. On the other hand, a high quality photograph tells a story by itself. My friend Russ Forthofer took the time to create some images of some of my work. I am very pleased with how they turned out.

If you ever need a professional photographer that does high quality work contact Russ. http://www.forthofer.net/home

Sold!


Yesterday was a fine day for DThornburg Diversions. Frankin-Lamp  was sold!




And moving right along, the next lamp, a lot smaller, necessitated cutting a junction box down to less depth. It wasn't easy, but  I discovered it could be done.
