The big day's tomorrow...

And as usual the last minute rampage is on... except there's much less rampage and alot more  'Oh, well.'

That means I pretty much just do what I can and if I can't then whatever. Like the record player thing with the old amp got doused in water when it rained overnight and I'd taken from a spot where it wouldn't have gotten wet to puttin' it out ready for work in the morning. But it doesn't really matter as this exhibition is really about gettin' work in the future as well as being about making a few sales.

This one caused me and Kevin a little grief as Kevin made cushions for it but the nature of these springs and the tufted fabric used to upholster that way of doing thing ended up with the cushions being too big unless we tied down the spring rounds the edges... so we came up with these little pads and we're calling it 'The Kerrigan Brothers Patented Cup and Bottle Holder Couch 1894'
And the aesthetic of see throughness is actually qite appealing I think.

But we can also throw on the cushion that was for the back and it's also quite nice.

And we'll also have the odd bronze sculpture from the good old days when Kevin had a great go at such things.

I'm going to put my old desk from the Sauerbier exhib at PP's too.

This table, which has glass over the big saw blade, will be my work for most of today and tonight I think. I'll etch the glass and engrave the saw blade with the dremel and might even find time to burn some designs into the wood. I've got a little twenty watt burner I borrowed off my brother which is fine for leather but when it comes to wood something with a bit more 'oomph' will be what I buy when this stuff all get's sold tomorrow for 'good' prices. There you go, I'll be letting stuff go for a fraction of the prices I learned from Pierre and his gallery, not that I blame him at all, but it's just different circumstances now and I'm not worried about a place in the Art world.

So come on down to the ellerslie Race course and the Great Northern Room for AetherCon 2013. Doors open at 10 and it finishes at 6... then they have their ball!
