Not Quite Tuckered Out

 

 

Three-day weekends are awesome! Ya gotta love holidays, man. I forced myself not to do any work over the break. However, I did work out a new mini setup as seen above. I figured that I should at least spend some time with my hobby, right? Smiles. And since I have several Peter Tucker pieces that I haven't used, it's definitely a good time to showcase one of those. You know, I just realized that I have had these PT pieces for almost a year now. I purchased them last year at the Good Sam Showcase in San Jose--which runs again next month. I've already posted how wonderful it was to meet Peter Tucker but I have to reiterate because it's not often that you meet your "heroes" and discover that they are indeed cool people. The sofa above is his work. It's a beauty with wonderful lines and precision cuts. It's light in your hands but very very sturdy. Sigh. Just look at it! Chuckles. Oh! Did I mention that his lovely wife made the cushions and pillows? I can't quite figure out what she stuffed the square pillows with (sand?) but they dimple and crease like 1:1 pillows.

So...what's going on here in the scene above? You know I don't know. I just run with it. It all started with the Tucker sofa and then I started pulling items from there--heavily inspired by some Far East papers which play nicely with the sofa style. I wish I had a sophisticated way of describing how I put scenes together but I don't. I'm sort of on autopilot most of the time.
