The Guild School 2010

The Guild School was one of the most enjoyable weeks I've had in ages. How could a whole week spent with people who share a love of miniatures be anything but wonderful? 

I took Mark Murphy's class, and made a beautiful Japanese tea chest.  Mark is an excellent teacher; everyone in the class left with a finished piece.  Here's a shot of mine while I was working on it:

I still have to stain my finished piece - that was something we were supposed to do at home, as it takes a couple of days for the stain to dry completely.  I've been busy getting together a sample and class description for Chicago International 2011, so I haven't done that yet, but hope to get to it this weekend.
