Yesterday was so productive. I started working at 6:30, had tea with Lilias by 7:00 and was seriously down to work by 7:30. I worked straight through to 2:30 grabbed some sushi and worked until 6:30. It felt so Protestant somehow!

Problem is my hips are completely frozen today and my cancer arm is big and swollen so I can't do much except write artists statements.

Never mind. I got lots accomplished yesterday and have a little wiggle room today.

I produced components yesterday with about 24 pieces of very lace like tyvec. They were patched together and stitched on what will be a beautiful skin. I will burn them for further detail after they are printed, stamped, metal waxed and embroidered. It should take 2 more studio days. I am trying to finish 5 or 6 new pieces for the East Side Culture Crawl to go with my pupae.

10 little cases are full of critters and pods now and 4 hangings are close to completion. Tomorrow will be a paper mache day and it is time to try a bigger globe, a bunch of little ones and chicken wire.

The I'll draw out my plans for a trade with Arlee Barr and comrades. Theme is "scary...CSI... forensics" in miniature (1 1/2" X 1 1/2 in). Hmmmm maybe I'll do kinky or something. Delivered in plain brown paper! As long as it doesn't ooze, explode or smell funny and fits in an envelope for mailing.
