I Forget Who Did it, But it Sure is Good

Sorry. I forget who made this work, but it sure is good. I might remember some day. That’s surfing the internet without taking good enough notes I guess.
Pony Corner Clamps
February 8, 2010
I ordered a box full of Pony corner clamps last week. These little guys will help me square up a bunch of frames for a show I’ll be hanging in March. I love the double slotted spline joint. I make my frames with a subtle inward bevel on the front face of the frame. The contrasting spline joinery not only makes them solid, but looks good too.
I prefer walnut, but I’ve got a bunch of premium pine lying around from a recently completed project. I think I’ll make a few in each type of wood. I intend to matte 8×8 inch photos with liberal white-space provided by creamy white museum board. A medium blonde Golden Oak or deep dark English Chestnut stain will do the trick. I will post some photos of the finished projects once they’re ready.

Mossless is the blog complement to the biannual magazine of the same name.

Mysterious Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier is a street photographer from the 1950s – 1970s. Her work was discovered at an auction in Chicago where she lived for 50 years. Her discovered work includes between 30-40,000 medium format negatives of which many have been scanned and posted to the fascinating daily page that bears her name. A wonderful way to lose an hour or two…

As brief as it is, I am beginning a new project and this is the first piece I’ve completed.
Some photos that were lying around
October 14, 2009
Here are a few photos that were lying around my desktop. They’re just snapshots. Flour sacks, my mom, sunlight and a tomato for your consideration.
