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...)

Linking with the Needle and Thread Network for WIP Wednesday. Check it out and see what other Canadian bloggers are up to! :)

Where do you get your energy from? If I am exhausted I just go to bed:)

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!

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!!

You have obviously tired Tyler out, too! If I don't get my sleep, no one's happy around here. :) Take care.
