Having a little fun...

Not that working on my artistic pursuits aren't fun - I worked for hours after my day job last night (until 4:00 in the morning!) and I can honestly say I have rarely been more happy;


but that work takes concentration and since it's

1.  a reiteration of my Trayvon Martin piece (as I have to make it about 10 times bigger for the exhibit);

2.  it's my third or fourth night working that late (and I get up at six to go to my day job); and

3.  I'm so exhausted tonight I didn't want to risk working on it and somehow messing it up!

So...

Tyler napped beside me as I worked on something fun (he's modelling his new summer cut)


And as he napped, I started out with these scraps' n strings...


and then I used these things (screen printing screen cleaner, a bottle of old acrylic paint, a fleur de sel container* and a container of procion MX dye)....



and then this.  Hmmm.

Things should be clearer now!

Come back on Friday for the "big" reveal! (I intend to have a nap in the meantime...)

    I will be back! So curious! Working to 4 in the morning on your passion and then getting up to go to work! I used to be able to do that but...can't wait for summer to be able to do it again!

  8. Good grief woman! Are you human?? I just collapsed in front of the telly tonight. A day in London, then a walk with the dog (mine is a bit bigger and demands his walks) then supper and all my good intentions of a bit of gentle sketchbook work went out of the window. I just don't know how you do it!!
