I'm back - what I've been up to

[James E. Welch]

So I haven't been very active here for a while. I have been pretty busy of late. I got my work into a local store and it's keeping me pretty busy. I'm not complaining though, it has been a great little side gig. Anyway, thought I'd post a few pictures of my latest stuff to try to catch up.

Great stuff! I especially like the chapel plus all the weathered wood. Just guessing, is it old fence boards?

That's right. I found a deal on a bunch of old fence boards so I've been using it up.

All looks great.  I especially like the bulldog pulling the others ear.  Who's pattern is that?

Wow! You have been busy. Great use of the wood fencing. Gives you pieces a nice, rustic appeal.

60/40 -- I get 60% they keep 40% 

They come to my house and pick up the art. They maintain the store, advertise and cover any shipping costs. It has been nice.
