I kicked my workspace in the teeth...

[merimask]

Oh boy, was my workspace ever a mess!  I was using craft paper to cover my desk, and it would get all ripped up and ugly in a hurry.  Plus, clutter everwhere.

So!  I re-papered the desk and then used a peel & stick plastic to seal the paper, which is so much smarter than what I used to do.   See?

Better.  You can see the masks I'm working on, there.  Anyway I finished those this morning.  Remember my "Harlequin Romance" masks from last year?  They're back for Valentine's Day. 


Plus (and I just came up with this idea last night), I decided to do a Harlequin cat...neat eh?

Meow.  I don't do many cat masks anymore.  I used to do a LOT of cats but I guess I burned out.  Now I only do the Egyptian Bast mask and the Venetian cat, and those only once in a while.  Hmm.

Anyway the romance is all for sale in Etsy right now.   Heh!  Romance.  For sale.
 
Greg and Charlotte are funny.  One of the Christmas gifts we got from family far away; a ceramic notice board.  You write on it with a special marker...you can wipe the board clean for new messages.  I put it next to the fridge, so they could write a list there of things we might need (I do the grocery shopping & I never know when they might want something special.

Instead, they are using it for utilitarian haiku.  Greg writes:
 
Bills, when I pay them
It's like winning a game show
about being mugged

Char's response beneath:

It seems bittersweet,
this sense of satisfaction
from winning...but not.

I am living with clowns and machiavellian housepets.

My workspace has moved to the side of the 'cove' at the end of my living room, near the paper lanterns. It looks really good there, and the mess is less conspicuous than it was before. It's covered in bead stacks (about twenty) and three bottles of paint and jewellers cases and stuff like that, right now. Pliers and half finished projects and so on.

Oh yeah, that reminds me that I should finish that front-clasping asymmetrical necklace I started...but I wanted feathers for it and I can't find my feathers right now...

It's in your colours, too...aqua and turquoise (actual turquoise) and bronze and a bit of wood.

I took my cue from you...you're always improving your workspace and making it so bright & pretty. I tend to let mine go far too long before I do something about it.

Ohh...that sounds like a lovely project. I am working on some leaves for you, by the way. :-)
