My ol friend Nell Warren is an accomplished artist who has figured out a way to create a chaboo and also use one for her work.  Her idea is for a chaboo in constant process!  She brought in some old letterpress drawers and I modified them to fit into the chaboo.  She collects little shavings from her paint pallet and organizes them in obsessive fashion into these tiny little compartments.  Yes, she is a nerd…

The surface of the chaboo is used as a pallete as she works.  She carves into the top to create her little collectible shavings resulting in this beautiful, every changing composition.  She loves her chaboo so much she has decided to not put it up for sale.

Ok, no one actually READS any of what I write.  Just looking at pictures, watching videos…  So here ya go- video~
