Goma Laca

Funny title, but that is what I did all day in class on Tuesday. I put goma laca or shellac on the doors of my cabinet. It looks beautiful but I think I put about 40 coats. My arm, wrist and hand hurt after the class. Lord knows, this was only the doors. I still have the whole piece of furniture to do. At one point the teacher came over and told me I was doing it wrong and corrected me. I felt stupid but then again, I am in this class to learn not to be sensitive and have my feeling hurt. I love all my colleagues in the class. Everyone came over and admired my work. After 40 coats, I hope it looks good.

Next Tuesday is a holiday so we won´t have class, but I promise to take pictures next time. I also promised to bake muffins for our holiday coffee on the 16th.
