All right my head was spining.

I was keeping myself from a meltdown by calmly checking off options and laying out plans. Framing is always a major decision no matter how many times you've done it.

Preparing to show some work.

I've begun framing some work I'd like to show and some for upcoming sale opportunities. Framing is something I find therapeutic. It's a process that requires concentration and manual skills. I find comfort and quiet in doing it. I usually do the framing for small shows and studio sales.

Showing my work.

I've been thinking quite a bit lately about being more focused on showing some of my work. That means making sure I have images to post on my website. This isn't difficult for my smaller drawings I scan them and that is the best solution.

Finally after numerous conversations with suppliers and fabricators — thank you all — I was able to frame the five selected drawings for Songlines.

I carried the framed drawings to our local UPS Store and the staff protected them.
