Since there probably will not be any more painting done until 2026, I thought I would share some of my wood craft projects from the year.

I found this bamboo box at Hobby Lobby. I thought each striped needed its own color. I used the Sharpie Creative Color Marker to paint the outside, and Americana Craft Paint to paint the sides and inside. I am still deciding what to do with it.

2025 Puzzle – This originally was just a blank puzzle. I use black gesso to paint both pieces, the puzzle and the base. The I used paint markers to design the piece.

A couple of round wood blanks:

This was my first attempt at creating my own diamond art piece. Just an experiment to learn how to create one.
