dropped off 3 of the baked art studies for display at the Folks Cafe, 1201 Princess Street on the corner of N 12th in Wilmington NC yesterday. A great place to meet, or just relax and enjoy the easy going cozy space and the folk there. A place to have a cup of Organic & Fair Trade coffee from Central & South Americas, Sumatra or Burundi, or maybe a Java (bring a pound home with you or gift that aficionado in your life). Grab a sandwich or snack or a home baked brownie or cookie! Tammy & Juan Pacini change the menu weekly and always try to accommodate their customers with smiles, friendliness and face up service. Many downtown gather there at breakfast and lunch, or hang there to chat, read or spend the morning and/or early afternoon just reading with their feet up*.

enThanks for hangin Tammy & Juan!...

three stages since Sun...   pre oven where I've established color and line foundations. I've placed phasing sliced fruit of Guava Pineapple within in honoring the ripening fruit of this new to me edible.  

Each pair of photos are pre oven, after oven and after an application of a water based "PolyWhey" interior polyurethane on the top surface. By coating the top surface I capture the state of the piece and allow any remaining moisture to go out the bottom onto absorbing paper surface.
