Yesterday was filled with semi-accomplishments. The fabric pens that I purchased won't work on the wool of my cape, so I found an on-line supplier of a transfer pen that had been recommended and ordered something that has a good chance of working properly. So...project number 1 didn't work. But I did get my sterling disks cut out, got the office supplies purchased, did a preliminary sketch for the "Straight Road" project, went grocery shopping (and actually remembered everything on my mental list - Yeah Me!!!), and got five more boxes for future deconstruction. My friend at my box supply shop apparently had her car trashed by someone who slid through an intersection on our lovely and icy streets. And then she was unable to find where the night shift had put the starting cash for her cash drawer. So...she gave me the five boxes I had chosen for free as a New Year's gift. I'll be back on Tuesday, so if she decides that she wants the money for them, I'll be happy to pay her then.
I need to get my perspective down for my "Straight Road" project. It's off right now, and that can drive both me and any potential viewer a bit crazy. I'll try working a "perspective box" on the block-out and see what can be tweaked before I start with ink and wash. And, Shruti and I are beginning to nail down our expectations for the ISGB challenge project that we want to do. It's starting to look like it may work thematically, as long as we can pin it down enough so that the two of us from opposite sides of the world can work harmoniously. After all, I can't just run to New Dehli, India if I have a question or concern - LOL. But, all in all, it was a great studio day, and now I have to go back out into the cold and return to work today (sigh). It's really too bad that I have to work to be able to play, but there's the reality of my life and I'm quite sure that this reality is shared by almost everyone who graces me by reading this blog :-) Have a creative day!
