I had aimed to work on music videos today, but instead pondered them as I worked on some painting preparations. I bought a new set of postage scales so that I can accurately weigh my artwork, and prepared new art to list online with Galleria Balmain and their new art portal. Some of my best artworks will be sold exclusively there for a few months.
Then, a trip to town, and the discovery of two lovely frames. This frames carved in dark oak caught my eye, so antique looking, like something from the 16th century (which I recognise, my childhood house had a 16th century, Henry VII era chest). It might be younger, who knows, but at least a century old I imagine.
The backing planks were taken from a soap crate, covering a very thick and heavy mirror.
Deb bought a pine chest of drawers at the same time, so I helped transport this and carry it to her flat. It had some construction flaws (not subsequent breakages; it was so shoddily made that screws missed the wood entirely, some nails completely pierced the wood). It needs some repairs and refinements, some glue, clamping and new screw holes. I'll do this tonight.
The rain today is relentless.
