hm.....

Well, my sweet readers…. some have asked what progress I have made over the weekend. Here’s an image that I am not quite sure if I should classify as progress. One of the exciting things when we first opened the walls was the gorgeous lath work became exposed. The problem was that what we had opened seems to cover what was at one time a doorway. So I had a lovely cavity to build my “heatherness” into but I also exposed the lath. I contemplated on leaving the lath as it is but them i felt like it was a disconnect between the “heatherness” and the lath. I decided to try building “heatherness” over the lath so that the effect was no more cohesive. But I’m not sure how much I like that.

I spent a good hour yesterday, cutting wood then putting it in place then ripping it off. I decided to leave just enough up so that I can think about it and then perhaps come back and build more or take it down altogether. I have so much more the the “heatherness” to build throughout the room so it makes me think that I just have cold feet… but then again I just love that lath.

DO you see the conundrum? Art is about making decisions and hopefully from time to time you make the right ones. I know I’m onto something here- it’s just in a stage where I need to feel my way through so by no means think I am in crisis mode!

(ha…. it’s funny. I’ve been looking everywhere for that water bottle today!)

And ps. my obsessive taping of the kickguard is complete. I’ll spare you the image but I’m damn proud of it!

and pps. the blog is about to get a facelift so maybe when you sign on tomorrow, this page will be far prettier. Comments welcome… please feel free to comment. Until I figure out how to get rid of the numerous amounts of spam that filters it’s way here, I need to moderate the comments. I am looking to not be a dumping ground for porn sites and shoe outlets. So as soon as I get your comment, I’ll post it!
