Projects from @eileenhull 's beach house retreat. It was a great fun, even virtually. We made phone stands, marbled star books and needle work wallets (I still have to finish.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAkx4afAzyV/?igshid=14h8qkena9joy

Should I make some MtG magnet sets? They would be 30mm glass with a strong magnet on the back featuring upcycled MtG cards. 6 magnets to a set. . . . #mtg #question #magicthegathering #upcycle #giftideas #magnet #yesorno https://www.instagram.com/p/BpugkKSDlKi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k80skb9nxmo5

The three layers to a Magic the Gathering card. Front, middle blue layer, and the back of the card. You see the blue layer better in the second picture when I wet it a little. #magicthegathering #mtg #mtgaddicts #wizardsofthecoast #mtgcommunity #mtgcommunity #carddestruction #tcg

Lunch spot today while waiting for the motorcycle ride to come though. I figured I'd work on some quick watercolors. I got stuck with the tiniest pallet known to man as my daughter took my Windsor Newton one. #watercolor #urbansketch #greenhouse #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #watercolorpainting #urbanpainting #quicksketch #quickpainting #tiniestpallet

Ever since the kids were little they have had this thing with duck butts. It seems that every time you drive by a small pond or stream with ducks all you see are butts, or maybe it just happens to us. So I decided to carve this duck butt. I'm thinking this just might be our new letterboxing stamp. . . . #linocut #stamp #lino #linoprint #stamps #softcutlino #letterbox #letterboxing #duck #duckbutt #blockprinting #stamping #artistsoninstagram #nature #bird #animal #duckstamp

Not a bad day at the beach. Not quite tourist season here yet. We found a small beach that wasn't very gone through. Managed quite a bit of sea glass including a piece of pink. #newengland #beachfinds #seaglass #notourists #driftwood #beachcombing
