My girls had a snow day today. Randi My oldest sat and drew with pastels today. She has developed a recent interest in drawing over the past three or four months and has gone form being able to do very little to being fairly competent in several drawing media. I was really pleased with the tropical fish she drew today. Of Course my snap shot doesn't quite capture the depth or contrast that the real drawing has but I gave it a shot.

Rachel spent most of the day on the lathe making graver handles. She has them looking pretty good. She is getting the hang of staining and finishing that curly maple.

The fish is outstanding! Not an easy angle to render but she did it perfectly, and I like the illumination behind it. And interesting blue to red transitions in the plants. Yeah, she's definitely got it!

As for the handles, they're beautiful. I'll take some if they're ready.
