This morning in an attempt to play catch-up, I was going to blitz through all of my work and write a new blog post! My attempt was thwarted however, when I got into work and realized that the phones are down. And so is my internet connection. Then to my obvious joy and delight, I saw my USB thingy sitting in my purse. Therefore I am typing this post at work, and I’ll upload it later from home. Don’t be jealous of my brain skillz.
So no, I did not get in my copper foil over the holiday weekend. But that didn’t stop my productivity! Would you like to hear what I did? OF COURSE YOU DO! Why else would you be reading the ramblings of a crazed hamburger-addicted girl? (I had three hamburgers over the weekend, now I have meatbrainitis.)
I sketched out a design for two small paintings that I would like to do. The canvases I have are 5”x5”, and the design flows from one panel to the other. I’ve been fiddling with similar design patterns for awhile, and it’s something I’m excited about! Think organic/geometric windows with a touch of intestines. You read that correctly. I’m still debating what medium to use (acrylic or oil) but I know that I’d like to somehow incorporate wax. Should be a fun project to start later on!
I also rustled up four paintings that I completed a while ago. I’d like to look into getting frames for them and hanging them up around the house. One painting will have a standard frame, but the other is a triptych. I don’t know what my obsession is with triptychs, but it looks like that one will have to be custom made too. Damnit.
I started drawing a design for the light box that I’ll be building to house my stained glass piece. I really hope that I can plan this out and execute it properly. I might need more brain skillz to figure this one out. Or maybe another hamburger?
And lastly, I am going to be starting a tie-messenger bag for my sister! She’s in her last year of grad school, so I thought I’d make her something pretty that she can bring to class. I hope I can sketch out the right dimensions and make it work!
