Frames

This weekend I made some frames for our recently acquired Kazu Kibuishi prints.

Update on Denton

We have put our move to Denton on hold. The person that was looking to take over our lease bailed out. We decided that we didn’t want to break lease lest we find ourselves in a legal mess down the road. We are still hopeful that someone will eventually take over our lease but are content to stay in Irving in the meantime.

Settlers

Two weeks ago, when we were in Pennington, Brian re-introduced me to a great board game: The Settlers of Catan. We enjoyed it tremendously, so I decided to make (instead of buy) Laura one for her anniversary/birthday present. I painted plywood sheets and then cut them with the laser cutter into hexagons. I also engraved player tiles and number tiles as well. I added a few of my own features as well; the major two being the addition of the resource of fish and the addition of guilds. We are still working out some of the kinks (such as fish resource cards) and have decided to use legos for settlements as well as the lego robin hood for the robber. Here are some pictures of the game:
