I wish I could say that I’ve been hard at work on my current Art Project of Excitement. Truth be told, all I can really say is that it’s been progressing, slowly. At least my mind has been hard at work on it.
On the other hand, it has been between 93 and 100 degrees here for the past week. Getting up to drink a glass of water is hard work. So honestly, these days we’ve all been hard at work at trying not to melt.
Some things did get done, of course. This particular project calls for some planning stages, some sketching and drawing, and then some more drawing, and some more. Today I got started on the second phase which involves sharp instruments. Yikes!
Sharp instruments aside, it’s been a real delight to work in this particular medium because it reminds me of some projects I did at the Conventino. And while I’m in the boring stages of the project I might post an image of something I did back then, a project I’m particularly attached to.
In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of what’s been going on in my kitchen. Note empty glass of water (ehh, too much effort to refill)
I’ve photographed it with an intentional glare so you can’t yet tell what it is I’m making. Oooh, the suspense!
That’s about all I’ve got going on here. Now please excuse me while I go throw a bucketful of water on my head. Again.
COMMENTS: How about you? Any interesting projects you’d like to share? Throwing a bucketful of water on your head counts as an interesting project these days. Seriously.
“hard at work at trying not to melt” – you perfectly nailed it! That’s what I’ve been doing for the past week and a half, and what I’ll be doing for the foreseeable future. *sigh*
If cooler weather came by the bucketful, that’s what I’d wish for you. You know, in order to help make the bucketfuls of water on the head work their magic for more than a few seconds each…
Ah thanks, Josiane, for the wishes of cooler weather – may a cool breeze waft your way too. I’ve asked some of our Aussie and Kiwi friends to mail over some of their extra winter, but it’s probably been held up at customs again… fingers crossed that it will arrive today
