When the ball is rolling one project always begets another. I love following the thread. Lots going on this week.
I brought in a huge piece of cardboard a few weeks ago, thinking I would turn it into a temporary wall with windows for Meg to climb or peek through, but then after we turned it into the cat drive thru window "Your order of mouse toys is ready" we bent it up and then I just started playing with the exacto blades.I collected some seeds, I was drawn to the colors and shapes and textures and how they reflected moonlight, I started drawing them and then this...
The plastic project, inspired by a) plastic b) seal gut parkas c) quilts d) lee bontecou.
Investigations:I'm drawn to anything ice-like/glacier-like, watery or has this texture
non-art related:. just got a felt pick for the uke. Thanks Dale and Cerise
Went to the aquarium again, this time with Mary. we love this tiny frog and of course my favorite the sea dragons. This was after we went to the
Body Worlds exhibit and were grossed out by the real dead bodies cut into crazy displays by mad scientists and then deemed educational. Sorry no pictures of that one, it wasn't allowed. I wouldn't want to show you drawer man anyway.
50 cents apeice. Japanese rockin robin salt shakers, technically maybe they are cardinals
Cardboard remains were cut into arrows that I've been taping all over the house as reminders to look or interact with certain things. New clock in the living room that I always forget is there. Which perfectly matches the flower shaped one in the kitchen ( thanks John). Bones are good reminders. my stick weaving with daily messages is nice to wake up to, and this chair in the kitchen is the best seat for sunlight, lovely white blossom smells, humming bird sightings. I also have one pointed to the sewing machine and the stereo.
I have a stye in my right eye, which makes my eye really tired and painfull, as most styes do, Mary's nephew made me an eye patch out of paper with an eyeball drawn over my real eye. it's awesome. I basically Love it. But my right eye is my dominant eye, which makes an eye patch interesting. I really have to reprogram some synapsis.
Michelle and I took Camden out, went to the art store. we are such art supply lovers. She got some new canvas' and I got some new paper and paint for a new project. and then we had giant $10 hamburgers with grass fed beef, they were ah-ight, not worth sitting in the cold wind for, Glad the budget still has room for espensive burgers.
