Jakouageha
This 42″ giclee print of Echo Chernik’s “Jakouageha” is signed by the artist and numbered “1/1”. There are 50 of the 36″ prints and 20 of the 48″ version, but this is the only 42″ print of Jakouageha that was ever made. I have had it on layaway for most of a year, with a little poster version of the image standing in for it in the meantime. I’m very happy to have this beautiful piece of art over my mantel, first thing you see when you walk in the front door.

New propane fire pit
This propane burner holds a pile of rocks, diffusing what would normally be a simple blue flame into a big wispy orange flame like a traditional campfire. I have a perfectly serviceable firepit at home, but this portable burner will be great for festivals and camping in areas with burn bans, where it would be important not to leave a bunch of ash or create flying sparks.

Simple summer shirt design, take 5
I made some more tweaks to the simple summer shirt pattern: rounded the armscye, tapered the sleeve, added a topstitched French placket, and lengthened the hem. I mismeasured the placket width and made this shirt a little too blousy but I’ve taken the pattern in so the next one will be better. This particular shirt also has lapel facings, but that detail is too fiddly to qualify as “simple”. I think I’ll reserve this design for fabrics which don’t have a clearly “wrong” side, then work up a variant with a banded collar which will work better for prints and the like.
