thirty days :: twenty-one

Posted on September 22, 2008 by thirdstoryies

It was good to have some time in the studio this weekend. I’ve got so many projects started that need to be finished. I made headway on all of them, but this was the one I was working on this evening when I remembered that I really should have taken some photos today. Above is where I was and then I started in on the giraffe below.
This guy was tricky because he wants to be tall and skinny but that doesn’t work so well on a square canvas and next to my big round elephant. This was the fifth or sixth try. I should have photographed my trash pile on the floor.
Outline cut out, ready for the inner line.

All in a row… or maybe stacked two on two? I haven’t decided yet. Still playing with the layout. These are not glued yet – that should be a real treat with all the tiny pieces. I do have the most amazing glue for paper to canvas that does not wrinkle or stretch the paper – no water in it at all. I thought I’d save the gluing for another night when I wasn’t so tired.
Papers for a mobile and other treats. They almost look like fabric laid out like this.
Oh – and here’s our new lamp in the back room. It can swivel and tilt to provide light at the lounge, or move over to give light at the head of the bed when the lounge is pulled out…
It can swing over if a comfy chair comes into the room some day for reading…
Or position itself over a small computer desk, which is what is coming soon to this little nook.
Get the computer up in this room and I just might never leave…
