Thank you, Laura. The individual ones were really fun. I should have take a photo of the bottom of the plate -- I will. The lizard who is climbing off wraps around to the bottom of the plate. I just tried to make them wacky. I used paint. I wish I had used some blue for a more southwestern style, but alas. Thanks for your encouragement.
We'll take 8 dinner plates, 12 side plates, a serving platter and the lounge lizard cocktail shaker, please Ben. Seriously, stop being so good at stuff!
That’s hilarious! My first artistic commission! Sweet! If you only knew how many things I have failed at. Some were just “ok no problem, i skinned my knee but I tried.” One had truly disastrous consequences.

I can send you a copy or PDF. (Dog book is better because of the photos :) )
Ben, this is so cool! Love this mob of lizards. Indulging the creative in any medium is so therapeutic, imho. I bet this was really fun to make, too. Thanks for posting!
Kate, thank you so much. It was a blast to make -- most of all the fun designs of the lizards. I’m really glad you enjoyed it. And I appreciate your encouragement.
Of course! I've had a crazy week so have missed reading your posts lately. I finally have space to catch up—with dark roast, quiet, and a 71° day. Life is good!
Reading good writing is not an act of altruism. Btw, no idea what kinds of music you like, but I can recommend a recent find I'm enjoying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKC_sh1QGy0
This looks really great! The fact that each one has its own unique design makes it look even better🙂 Did you use marker or paint? I paint on glass a lot but don’t like the long curing time in the oven.

Keep going.. make a set! Maybe add a different color to each piece 🙂
In response I offer my first ever Substack essay:

I should order up a copy, Ben!
I am more than happy to send you a copy. It has been far too long since I sent something mit Luftpost.
If you are sure, that would be so very kind. I can e-mail an address. Very thoughtful, Ben
Good morning. Please, by all means send an address. The pleasure is mine.
e-mailed. Thanks so much, Ben
You’re a study law, write fiction, and you’re a stencil plate maker(?) What else can you do? You’re the James Bond of Substack.
You’re very kind. You should see me pick up after my dog. I’m the Virginia state champ. Several years running.

You are very kind to even think of them.

There's only one word I know for this:
RAD!
Excellent. Thank you !! It’s wacky.
I will contact you for all my bespoke dining desires.

This is beautiful. So much fun to do new creative things.
Thank you , Kathryn. You are incredibly kind.
