It’s finished…… it’s finally finished………. My table and cushions and chess set! It’s been a fun time making all this stuff. Also, there were at least 7 times in this process where I was thought I was about to cause a mess of catastrophic proportions, but that happened at most 0.5 times, so I’m delighted about that! (I’m still very afraid of beanbag chair stuffing. It takes a hole the size of a dime to cause an Incident the size of uh. bigger than a dime). All in all this has left me sort of astounded that yes, I did make all this stuff. Which is great!! I have options to make things that I need with my own two hands which I didn’t realize I had. (Maybe I’ll make a bigger beanbag chair one day! I’ll need a while to get over my fears caused by the Great Bean Incident though). As for the exhibit itself, it was awesome to see my entire chess set just existing in a public space, but also, sort of weird? If I do this kind of thing again I’m giving myself time to try out more than one setting for my work. Finally, and most importantly…. I need to play chess more!
