The Halfling’s Brush
I spent a lot of time today and over the last weekend, setting up and then using a new painting station. This allows me to record my paint efforts, and thru a bit of editing magic, turn them into hopefully useful tutorials and walk thrus. I am not a professional level painter, and frequently not…

New paint rack
I have been working on a re-design of my painting station, trying to put most of the various pieces up on the wall (using designs by Multiboard). As part of this, I realized that my existing paint racks where rather over-sized. They worked well to store paints, but the angle and size meant that there…

Dog Tags update

Settling down
I think my corrections and fixes are finally settling in, and I have the e-commerce site apparently functional. Only a portion of my Etsy products are listed thus, more to come with likely a bit of an update on some of the photos. Biggest challenge I am running into is just the basic layout, modifying…
