I have the week to myself. Tim packed up his sailing kit and gave me a little kiss. He is gone for the next week. Leaving me to chase burglars or whatever is needed.
I have been making silicone and acrylic pupae casings on the porch. It is blazing hot so I have to put them under the table to dry meaning that only four or five can be done at a time. They seem to be dry enough to peel after about 2 or three hours.
The molds are made from the Georgia Straight newspaper and aluminum foil and are easy enough to use again and again. Gayla gave me left over acrylic yarns and they become very fleece like when unwound. Curly and long enough to resemble silk rovings or strands of fur.
So far I have made five different sizes and will stuff them with blumpy and eggy globes similar to what were used in the Wonderland show at Numen last fall.
Joseph and I will meet over the heat press on Monday. He is playing with heat presses and t-shirts.
Thinking about further falling into night mode and sleeping in the day to take advantage of the evening cool for working. This fits with my nature but never works with my morning bird of a partner. But he is floating on the water far away and I have the house and studio to myself.
What an incredible indulgence to be alone for a change! I might drown in work.
First testings for my eye surgery on August 22. Then am on call for my cyber eyes.
