Good call skip. There is way too much rope there and the rope isn't cheapo. It is and it isn't.

SOmething else that adds up is the price of cut wood boards by the foot. I want to do a HUGE painting and really did want to try making the canvas myself. Its nice to know all the steps involved from start to finish. Not that I will probably make my own paint from scratch any time soon. So the story goes that if you want a cheap canvas you have to make it yourself and that is what I just finished up.

It is going to be a 50ish period abstract. Its not tiki but I think it would still be liked by many TCers. Based off one of my favorite artist, Jack. I marked with tape a 102" by 43" on the wall but it was really too big so I cut back a foot from the top and a half on the sides.

And two weeks ago I visited the Mai Kai.
I was shocked to see it in its city surrounding.
I even got to help paint a little part it too :) :) :)
