As I age, I want to change careers to something meaningful and easier on an older body. At that time, I was still very busy with murals and faux. As the pandemic raged, my decorative painting business came to a halt. Also, I realized how vulnerable the restaurant business can be.\u00a0 I had also been working on a few pieces of furniture made from used and discarded materials. While I believe veganism is great for the planet and prevents so much suffering, I also think reusing, reducing and recycling are as important for a sustainable future.\u00a0 With the support of my sole investor, Anthony Francis, I have been able to build up an inventory of furniture. This year studiosandi will be participating in the Silicon Valley Open Studios. We purchased the half page ad, a copy of which is posted below.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1074\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1074\" style=\"width: 479px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/studiosandi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/0002add-with-images-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1074\" src=\"https:\/\/studiosandi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/0002add-with-images-387x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"479\" height=\"1268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiosandi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/0002add-with-images-387x1024.jpg 387w, https:\/\/studiosandi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/0002add-with-images-113x300.jpg 113w, https:\/\/studiosandi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/0002add-with-images-768x2034.jpg 768w, https:\/\/studiosandi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/0002add-with-images-580x1536.jpg 580w, https:\/\/studiosandi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/0002add-with-images-773x2048.jpg 773w, https:\/\/studiosandi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/0002add-with-images-scaled.jpg 967w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our half-page ad for Silicon Valley Open Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Anthony Francis&#8217;s Library of Dresan blog is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/\">dresan.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just before the pandemic, I had been taking classes and developing recipes in preparation for opening a vegan restaurant.
