all day!
there are so many things to do, i find it quite entertaining that i am busy puttering away at phone calls, reservations, accounting stuff all day!
well, except for right now.
right now i'm doing this :)
on the art front, i'm getting ready to shoot screens again.
in the works are a personal project of pillows with coral and star fish on them.
i wanted pillows for our sofa and it just kills me that the ones i like are $60.00 each!
so i'm making them.
i'm also working on a new screen print of cable ends, xlr, rca, 1/4 inch because i look at them on a regular basis.
and this weekend is the mini screen printing lecture i'm giving at the studio.
photoshop isn't very exciting so i havn't much to post picture wise but the below is one of my favorite internet finds of the last six months (i spend a lot of time google image searching!)
he's wearing a sweater!!!!
and it's a perfectly knitted sweater!!!
how did that happen???
something it's better not to know
but just construct elaborate fantasies about...
a woman who lived in the woods was once incessantly bothered by a squirrel who constantly ate all the seed from her bird feeder.
little did she know that this squirrel was trying to fill a deep aching hole of sadness inside himself with the large nugget like seeds.
what was the squirrel's sadness about you might wonder?
the squirrel was sad he couldn't knit!
he would sit for hours on the edge of the bird feeder,
eating seed after seed
while watching the lady
inside the house
while she knitted beautiful
sweater after sweater,
afghan after afghan,
gloves and scarves,
hats and booties in countless colors.
as the squirrel looked on enviously he thought of how lucky he would be to have something cozy to wear on the cold wintry blustery nights!
how his little paws though they could open seeds of various sizes just couldn't seem to manage the needles it took to knit something as beautiful as what the lady inside could knit.
the one time he tried,
it went poorly.
and he ended up just wrapping the yarn about himself while the wind whistled between the strands as he shivered eating more seed from the bird feeder.
one day a friend was visiting the lady.
and as she looked out to the yard from inside the cozy cottage her eye caught the shivering squirrel eating the seeds.
"he looks cold" the visiting friend stated.
peering out at the squirrel the lady who bought the seed began to ponder
"he does look slightly chilled"
and so she sat down and began to knit.
while drinking tea and eating chocolate chip scones with her visiting friend.
later that afternoon as she re-filled the bird feeder (again!) the lady left the tiny perfectly sized sweater made of olive green cashmere yarn next to the feeder.
in the morning the squirrel was there
pondering the world,
eating seed like it was a gourmet dinner,
and wearing a sweater.
