Beautiful Tools

I have been admiring the tools that are being used to tape and seal the gyproc, all the prep work before the paint; Jim Dine's extraordinary drawings of tools came to mind.

A river stone cut in half and used to polish, and a porcelain stone, that also fits the hand and is also used to polish, 2016
