I am finding that my current obsession with astronomy is finding it's way into Tabletop Town. First, the table started becoming a model of the solar system. Now I am seeing the planetary influence in my

I've been making little totem guys out of wood for a year now, and I just sold one today. This has been tricky for me, as I don't really make them to be sold. In this case, someone I would give one of

I have been slowly turning Tabletop Town into a non-scale model of the solar system. I want to be able to represent the planets with wooden thingys and rotate them around the sun. This process started

There has been a bunch of weird energy and mind-losing running through my household over the last week, but at least Tabletop Town has been spared. There are a few new creatures being born, and the creatures

I haven't felt like I have gotten much done as far as art goes lately, but my table is getting full, so I must have been doing something. There is transformation all over on the table, but I haven't felt

I have been using the remainder of the possibly lightning struck heartwood from an elm tree. There is a tangible spirit in this wood, and the last 3 sections seem to have some attitude. ** I am still in

There is a crazy gnome that shows up at the table whenever there is a spare arm laying around. I lost most of it's body over the years, but it still has a nice face, and one good arm. It loves to use spare

A new spirit showed up last night. A wooden squid got sawed in half, and the head found a new body. It got some new paint as well, in the style of the Eye Guy. There might be some changes to them still,

I brought the camera to the table tonight. There have been a few new additions as I have been incorporating stones and lights into my wooden sculptures. Here is a dark, moody picture of the new guys. Soma,

I have been working a bit more on making wooden light-up holder creatures for crystals. I am going to have come up with a word for these, because "wooden light-up holder creatures for crystals"

I have spent the evening watching The Boys and listening to Coast to Coast. They were talking about the Metaverse on Coast to Coast tonight, and it got me thinking about what I call dimensional shift.

The weather has been nice, and I have had some quality time in the garage. I am happy for that, since I feel the need to create, but I haven't had any songwriting energy at all. Making wooden thingys is

My newest buckthorn thingy started as a bird monster, but at some point, it started to look like a fish. As I was carving the knot at the top into a hook, I noticed this little squirrel pilot(or something)

The weather has been nice lately in Minnesota, so I have been able to spend my nights in the garage making little wooden dudes. On the left is Gola the frog, and on the right is Spike the shark. I really

I am back in Minnesota, which was not my plan, but it's warm enough now that I can spen my nights in the garage making wooden thingys. I have recently become obsessed with the Vinča culture of the ancient

I finally got some paint and decent brushes for my buckthorn army of various thingys. I've had several waves of obsessive painting in my life, but I had always painted on flat surfaces. Now, I get to paint

After my chain failed on my Buckthorn nunchucks, it was back to the drawing board. By drawing board... I mean YouTube. As it turns out, my roommate had a bunch of cord, so I watched some videos on how

I've continued to make thingys with Buckthorn. I had a visit from a couple of friends the other night. They are both taking Tae Kwon Do classes, and one just became an instructor. I of them saw my wooden

I am practicing woodburning on my flute. It seems pretty straightforward, but I know that I will have to do it for a while before I am confident to replicate something in my head. So far, I have learned

I'm having so much fun with my fancy camera and wood! These are almost outtakes from the photos that I'm taking of my various projects, but the shape and color are so cool! I recently inherited a knife
