Six Etc.: January 2011

http://sixetc.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 5, 2011. New Music in a New Year. The days leading up to and into the new year have been busy at Man's Game Studio, which is where we are working on Ryan Traster's. First full-length album as a solo artist. The core ensemble of Ryan, myself, Peter Anderson, and Jim O'Neill is back with Nick Johnson in on bass and a number of guests. As seen in the photo we are also frequently joined by Sadie, my Great Pyrenees. I'm especially looking forward to using my new Epiphone. I hope to use this...

the art director & the carpenter: Drawer Assembly

http://theartdirectorandthecarpenter.blogspot.com/2010/03/drawer-assembly.html

Saturday, March 13, 2010. By simply using a table saw to rip 1/4" grooves into the side panels for the drawer, I am able to assemble the drawer together snugly. I notched the edge of the side panels to create a male piece and then grooved out the front and back of the drawer to create the receiving female part as shown above. By also ripping an 1/4" groove 1/2" from the bottom of all sides of the drawer assembly I can now easily slide in a panel for the drawer bottom. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

the art director & the carpenter: bench coming soon

http://theartdirectorandthecarpenter.blogspot.com/2009/01/bench-coming-soon.html

Tuesday, January 6, 2009. This is the area that Carpenter is referring to. Our entryway has a narrow jog in the wall that makes it perfect for a long bench. Carpenter has actually started building the bench and will hopefully start posting photos soon. (hint hint). The coat hooks are great for visiting guests and dog leashes. You can have your very own here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ain't it cool news. How low can you go? Which way to go?

the art director & the carpenter: elephant print

http://theartdirectorandthecarpenter.blogspot.com/2009/04/elephant-print.html

Thursday, April 23, 2009. Brandon just saw this print on trays and glasses at IKEA. I'm madly in love with it. I wish they had it in fabric. I would use if for a cushion. I want Brandon (carpenter) to make a long shelf for the bedroom for my yoga books. I'd like to paint it white and put a cushion or pillows on top. If anyone has seen this in fabric form, let me know.

the art director & the carpenter: Nightstands construction

http://theartdirectorandthecarpenter.blogspot.com/2009/05/nightstands-construction.html

Monday, May 18, 2009. Below I have started the base assembly notching and interlocking four 4 inch strips and attaching them to the base. After a night of letting the glue set I will join all of the pieces together and begin the drawer assembly. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ain't it cool news.

the art director & the carpenter: pillow talk

http://theartdirectorandthecarpenter.blogspot.com/2008/12/pillow-talk.html

Wednesday, December 3, 2008. I had grand plans for pillows to put around the dining room. I had downloaded patterns and fabric colors and I did little layouts. Then I figured out how many pillows I actually needed. 14. The day I came up with this number, Carpenter and I went to Ikea to look at picture frames. The economy won on this one. I ended up buying pre-made pillow cases and pillows from Ikea. Then I had enough Marimekko. Fabric left over to have 1 side of 3 pillows sewn with this fabric.

the art director & the carpenter: puti trees

http://theartdirectorandthecarpenter.blogspot.com/2009/04/puti-trees.html

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. I'm loving these prints by Nod Young. A designer based in Beijing. These are titled "the puti trees" and are an interpretation of 2 poems from the original zen classic. I found these on printpattern. But you can buy them here. I'm still on the lookout for art work for our dining room. Could these be the solution? I have it in my head that a painting needs to go there, but maybe a few prints instead. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ain't it cool news.

the art director & the carpenter: wall art part 3

http://theartdirectorandthecarpenter.blogspot.com/2008/12/wall-art-part-3.html

Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Wall art part 3. I have a lot of wall space in my dining room. I've been dying to have something to break up all of that soft gray. Carpenter was kind enough to hang these today before jumping on the road for a job out east. (thank you). I got these prints from Good Shape Design. I'm totally loving the partridges. Plus it's nice to have a little splash of red. And the tree is mighty cute, as well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ain't it cool news. Wall art part 3.

the art director & the carpenter: Dog decorating

http://theartdirectorandthecarpenter.blogspot.com/2008/11/dog-decorating.html

Sunday, November 23, 2008. No we are not remodeling a room for our dog. Riley gets a bit stressed out when we have guests sometimes. As our guests were leaving the other night, we noticed Riley decided to do a tiny bit of decorating himself. This is also a sneak peek into a later project. I'm not sure if the bathroom will be phase 3 or 4, but trust me, it needs some love. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ain't it cool news. Wall art part 2. Wall art part 1. The worst blogger ever.
