my head has been reeling with imagery the last week or so. i've been fantasizing about a new sewing machine--i have this super old singer with a tension mechanism i do not understand. i can see myself with a big box of fresh, wonderful canvas bags, sewing on pockets or pictures or whatever. or at the art table hand painting designs and phrases. maybe even building some screenprinting frames. drool drool.
after we're done making soap, soap, and more soap, i look forward to doing some blockprinting. i need to see if i can make the cards they way i want and just scan them to get an image to take to the printshop. and i need to get price quotes for the offset printing press, when i first went into the printshop we discussed using the laser printer--the price of which is very reasonable, but i'm not sure i can get the quality i want...nor would it be a celebration of printing artistry.
my office/"art room" is such a mess and totally full of stuff. i'm hoping to make a project of it while the kids are home for winter break--jubal loves hanging out with them and they, especially vesta, are so good with him. it actually seems doable when i think about two weeks of daytime help available. i'm certainly motivated--i need this to be a space i can easily and freely work in. right now, it's a space in which there is too much to work around. maybe i can find some items to sell to make some business money--perhaps that clunky sewing machine. i'm excited to have a work space that really works and makes it easier to start new projects--having jubal around i need to be able to quickly get to the meat of a project and have it be set up in a way that if i have to stop suddenly, nothing will be ruined--so if it needs to be washed or put in water or closed up tight, it's easy to do that.
on another note entirely, how about that bachelor last night! awesome! i love to hate that show and was actually impressed by brad womack.
