About

I am a Canadian artist in Calgary, Alberta, working primarily with textiles. I'm curious, eccentric and just a little opinionated. Surrealist in thought, Fauvist at heart, this is my almost daily art journal, eccentric and eclectic, explorative and absurd.

melt"up"

:) :0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My lovely studio assistant and talented mannequin, Madame LaToussa, is quite raring to get out of her corner. She wants to be in the studio again, not relegated to a piled up corner, with feathers up her nose and rolled paper sticking in her butt crack, such butt as she has.....

I sympathize. I feel the same!

I'm at that point in packing where there are a million small things and no boxes---and you know that just hucking things into any available container means not being able to find it when you NEED it. And how small a box is too small???????

It scares me to think of packing these:

No matter how careful i am, Greyman's slinging of things usually results in loose ones somewhere....on previous moves, i have found spares in the coffee,the bedding, with his tools and crammed in inaccessible cracks of boxes ready to be thrown out. I might require that one blue bead.

Also, one should also be careful about leaving what one needs each day before, during and after the move. On Tuesday morning, i couldn't find my eyeliner. There was however, a blue metallic marker in my purse: i think it will last another few days, as it doesn't wash off.............might get me right through to move day...........just need mascara again...hmm, what can i sub there?????

either ziplock or good, tight saran wrap (or anything else that makes a real, tight seal)

One other comment as I'm avoiding commenting on that blue shit! Use your fabric to tightly wrap the containers (the ones with the loose bits). Then you'll have packed the fabric AND the bits and pieces. Dual duty! Label, label, label......
