I felt that I needed to channel my “inner Bostonian”. Today is an amazing spring day here. Yes, it started out below 40 degrees this morning, but it’s gotten MUCH warmer. Everyone is mooning around in the sunshine.
Our “garden” is actually doing something too. Notice that “garden” is in quotes. Our dirt patch with scraggly flowers, bordered by stones, could be considered a “garden” if flowers were considered optional. Here are a few of the scragglers that we have:
What is this? A hyacinth?:
What about this? What is it?
I know. That last one was probably just a weed. Oh well. But, check out our forsythia!
This is the only time of the year that this stuff looks good…otherwise it’s a brown, scraggly mess. I do love it though…we have it bordering three sides of our lawn.
and super close:
I really love that plant. AND, I know what it’s called! A minor miracle.
Studio was okay today. I have gotten myself a pair of clogs, as I’m standing all the time and my feet are killing me. No more silly shoes. At my last class, my right big toe fell asleep. That feels terrible, trust me. So, now I’ve got PRACTICAL shoes. I happily stood for 4+ hours today with no problem. Here’s a look:
Snazzy, huh? They’re actually a bit sparkly, which I like. Very comfy. I know…the next step is a velour lesiure suit, or a snuggie.
So, here are the prints from today. I’m on the fence about them.
And its fraternal twin:
I’m trying to decide now if they are “done”. Hmm…maybe I’ll wait to talk to one of my printmaking teachers to get some feedback. Luckily today, the studio wasn’t too crowded, so I could work fairly well and in a calm/sane manner. I struggle when it’s really crowded and busy. It’s hard to think, and you can only really do simple things with the press, as everyone is waiting in line to use it. So, my stuff today would have been a real pain if the studio was crowded.
Have a good weekend! Hoppy Eastah! I’m off to get some peeps!
