Hello all!

I’ve found another use for old license plates – flower boxes!

Each box is made from 4 plates, one for the front, the back, and each side uses a different half a plate.  The bottom is made from treated lumber pre-drilled for drainage, soggy plants are sad plants!  I’m selling these through my Etsy site – click here!

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything out here – I am sorry, again!  I seem to be having the biggest artist block I’ve ever had!  It seems much of my free time has been spent working on the house and keeping the garden in check, and when I do have time to draw or paint I just sit and stare at my paper…waiting for something to spring from my pencil.  Unfortunately that has yet to happen!

I’ve stated flipping through my various art books looking for inspiration and I think I’ve come-up a solution.  I’m going to start with a simple sketch of a garden building, then I’ll keep adding elements until I’ve filled the page.  I’ll hold myself to a few simple rules – it must be done in ink, and NO erasing!  I’ll post images of my little assignment as it goes along, and who knows…this may be just what I need to get the juices flowing again!

If anybody reading this has a better suggestion for beating art-block, please tell me!

Thanks to everyone for their support and interest – Erik R Davis!
