Sarasota School of Faux & Architectural Finishing

My job site this week plus a couple. Wonderful clients have invited me to stay over so I don't have to drive an hour plus each way every day. After a wonderful dinner prepared by my fabulous client I'm relaxing in a comfy adirondack chair, five feet from the water, toes in the sand enjoying a nice glass of red. Spoiled and loving it!

Bonnie's amazingly beautiful completed Sandhill Crane piece.

These are hollow core doors that Tamara and I prepped for Bonnie's workshop. Students were able to share time working on these larger surfaces to practice their tree growing creativity. Everyone got to work on creating different types of trees and styles of bark for birch, oak, and acacia trees. They're gorgeous now and will be even more so when completed with more leaves, finishing paints, colorants or foil, don't you think?

More amazingly creative works in progress from Bonnie's talented students in this past weeks workshop!

Our fabulous Bas Relief workshop with the amazing Bonnie Wakeman instructing our fantastically talented students. What a wonderful week and class!! Thanks to everyone who joined us for this special week, you were all perfect, especially you Bonnie!

Better safe then sorry

Don’t forget tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule where they can use your photos. Don't forget Deadline today!!! It can be used in court cases in litigation against you. Everything you've ever posted becomes public from today Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry. Channel 13 News talked about the change in Facebook's privacy policy. I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. With this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute. NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tacitly allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE. Copy and paste.
Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts. Therefore,
Hold your finger down anywhere in this post and "copy" will pop up. Click "copy". Then go your page, start a new post and put your finger anywhere in the blank field. "Paste" will pop up and click paste
This will bypass the system.

Wonderful rendition of one of our newest stencils "Esprit" by friend and long time customer Oscar Torres Vanegas! Beautiful job Oscar!!!

Last new stencil dressed up with this pretty new finish. Can't decide if it looks more like velvet or leather.
