Move over hubby, I am taking possessions of your precious workshed and tools. Yep! I know my way around drills, bandsaws, chopsaws and sanders and I discovered construction adhesive will stick most everything together. Drop paintbrushes, fine papers and canvas. I have a new palette and perhaps a new series for exhibition.
This one is my keeper.

Oh that's awesome. I love it. Great job Margaret. Todd hates it when I drag old stuff home but I can't help myself. I always feel there's something more that can be done with it. Cheers
