This was a very strange time for me. Despite always promising myself that I will have my work done well before a show starts, it never seems to work out that way. It was interesting because I was supposed to have the show set on May 8 and instead, I spent the entire day working in the very same room I was supposed to be setting up in. As soon as a piece was done, it went up on the wall or pedestal depending on the piece. Two pieces, the ones titled 'Anathema' and "Black Widow' did not get done in time. While I was disappointed, the show was still complete and work continued after the show.
I mentioned my show on here despite not showing any pictures of it. That show was titled The Winds of Change and I plan on talking about that show at some point in the future. Until then, keep on the lookout for the June and July reports.

| 5/7/17: I want to say that this day was the day I did some trimming on the piece and finally glued it into place.

Unfortunately, this piece was not done in time for the upcoming show. |
