Friday update on Wednesday 😊😊. I’m going Down East tomorrow through Friday so I won’t be in the studio for the next two days so I figured I would give you an update, but she is getting so close to finished that I don’t wanna show you the whole thing. So here is a detail that I’m really proud of, hope you enjoy it. If not before, I will be working in the studio again on Monday morning. Have a great rest of the week and a safe weekend.

I think she has come along way since the last time I shared. Working with all these different shades of white can be difficult though. But I have to say that I enjoy the challenge. 🤣😊😊. &SonSeafood
