Hi! For my next Genius Hour project I decided I wanted to learn how to do something crafty. So, I decided to make tiny mini clay sculpture things. I’m not entirely sure how to describe what I want to learn how to make, but I think that mini clay sculpture things describes it enough. Lately, […]

The Last Post for Now…
Yesterday, was my presentation day. I decided for my presentation I would bring some tools in to show what I learned how to use. I was pretty proud of myself. Before the presentation I was really nervous. I was worried I would mix up my words (which I did, but it wasn’t too bad), and […]
Reviewing the Plan
So far I have learned the way to make a frame, canvas stretch and make a shadow box. I definitely think I made lots of progress according to my original plan. My uncle even said that I should start working at Vestate. People in the shop said I made a lot of progress. I feel […]
Presentation planning
For my presentation I decided that I am going to bring some tools that help make a frame. I also will demonstrate the tools and show how they work. I will also put pictures of machines that I have use that I can’t physically bring to school. I have also decided that I would bring […]
Fork and Spoon
I finally get to make my 3rd frame! Vestate has been so busy so I haven’t been able to go there in awhile. I got to learn to slice glass. It was also my first time making a frame by myself with no help. The gaps in the corner are even smaller, but they still […]
Framing Tips

Talking
This week I went back to Vestate. It was really busy so I couldn’t ask questions right away. I decided walked around the warehouse to see people work. I got to see lots of cool things. Most people that work at Vestate are pros. You may think that it takes a SUPER LONG time to […]
Canvas stretching
Hi! This week I didn’t quite learn how to make a frame, but I got to watch a professional stretch a canvas. Basically canvas stretching is required if you want to put it in a frame or hang it on the wall. It makes it look a lot more neater than hanging the rolled canvas. […]
This time…
I think I keep making the same mistake. Everytime I do a corner of the frame it always has this crack in the corner. It might not be too noticable from a far, but I know it’s there. Using a nail gun was surprisingly super hard. I almost shot the nail through the frame while […]
First Day Framing
Hello! I went to Vestate on Saturday to learn the steps and process of making a frame. My first try was a bit weird. I was surprised how dangerous ALL the tools were. From the simple glue to a GIANT staple gun all the tools were easy to use, but difficult to get right. For […]
