Default Whats on His Wish List

My Friday adventure was one my husband thought was worth sharing.

Since the kids were in school we decided to go do a little shopping. Well of course, shopping means stopping by the local Chapters bookstore and Starbucks. While looking at magazines I had a thought. Oh hell since it "is the season of giving" I figured I'd ask my husband to do something I knew he wouldn't mind.... I ask him to pick up some Men's boobs and babes magazines since I needed a particular pose for a pattern I am working on.

With a smile that said "oh really honey, I can???" He went right to his task. I walked away and looked at some other magazines and he calls me back. "How's this one dear? he asks. So of course I go over and we end up looking at the magazines together.

Now you know it takes another brave man to come along and stop in the isle with us because there is a woman in the room so to speak. Well, again my husband asks "How about these?" Now the man beside us looks at us. My husband and I am now aware that we are being watched and look at the other man in the isle.

The look on the man's face is quickly met with my husband's wit and a grin, " We are picking new boobs for her for Christmas" he says.

So there, I shared! Giggle

Glad to see you married a man with a sense of humour!
He is a keeper.
Hats off to you for sharing too.

PS I like the new avatar, very seasonal.

Thumbs up

Toni-

Now that's too great! I love it, but I think I would have tortured the man in the isle a little more. I bet there was some good looking fretwork in that mag.

Default "Looking Back" - Mirror Complex Segmentation

Hi Guys!

Well, She's done.

She's called "Looking Back" and an exclusive pattern of Chrestensen Burghout Designs, Inc. In otherwords, we have no idea what we will do with her now, other than display her on our site and in my case, she will remain on the studio wall.

"Looking Back" was a lot of fun to cut. She is about 15" tall in this photo, and was made with baltic birch plywood and acrylic mirror running along her, thus ... looking back.

Check her out, she's under Segmentation.

Comments welcome.

Very nicely and tastefully done. It is a different concept. The use of different medium is always interesting. On the border line of risque' but well done. One question though did the husband get to keep the research material???

Very good Toni--
I enjoy segmentation and the possibilities are endless. I have never used BB plywood for segmentation projects, but yours looks great. I'm glad some of the members try a little more "artistic" approach to their projects once in a while. That could be the subject of another thread. I notice your figure has already been described as "border line risque'" That is interesting. I suppose some of my acrylic "fairies" also approach that category since they don't wear many clothes. Anyway, good on ya!
