Messy Summer

As in:

1) We still don't have a housekeeper, but I've got a good lead on one (finally).

2) I am moving offices, and am not fully into either. I have a desk but not a chair in my new space, whereas I had a couch but not a desk in my old space. However, by the time I am done, I will have a desk, a chair, a bookshelf, a coffee table, a couch and possibly also another chair. Not to mention maybe a mini-fridge. I'm not only tucked away in a room that is far, far from anywhere else on campus, I'm ambitious. Actually, I like my new space a lot. It feels very much like I imagine a Parisian garret to feel. Especially with the sun beating down on an unprotected roof in August. Hot. And it's quiet. Oh how I am loving the quiet. Though not so much the hot.

3) I am trying to do about 70 things at once, with the unfortunate result that everything is overlapping and nothing is finished and all of my projects are in uncompleted states. You know how messy that can be, both internally and externally.

4) I've started working in paper mache. Glue up to my elbows, but so far, not all over the kitchen floor. Not sure why. I'm doing my very best to get it everywhere.

Now I remember the post.

Your office is more furnished than my apartment.

LOVE the paper mache. What are you making him for? Please tell me you are going to glue him to a wall and spakel over it so it looks like part of the decor. That will be so cool.

Actually, it turns out he's part of a series. He wasn't when I started working, but now he is. Because I of course have time to make an entire series of imp masks. Still, when inspiration calls...

I LOVE the idea of making him look like he's growing out of the wall. That won't happen here, but I have a lovely idea now for a framed "picture". And maybe when we settle into a more permanent home.
