paint something?

i think to myself at work, i should make a list of all my projects.  and now it occurs to me, i should paint something.  yes.

storm wings still brewing in my head, with the following catalystic colors/shapes:

a painting i did ages and freaking ages ago

but in the meantime i think i want to paint something.  it has occurred to me that i have a perfectly good bodhran case in my closet that needs embellishment.  maybe tomorrow night after work, i'll paint it. 

or maybe i'll finally get off my bum and finish the logo for puca.  it's astonishing to me that they put up with me and my infinite delays.  haha, i love you guys.

does anybody know anything about winter gardening? i'm looking for frost-resistant, shade-loving plants for growing in containers.  send me thoughts; also ask to buy things please.

november.

i hung my spoon chime today (finally).  it looks pretty awesome out on my balcony; i'll post pictures at some point.  it's getting windy out at night now so i'm anticipating some groovy spoon serenades in the evenings. 

i'm also super excited that my chives and onions are starting to sprout (they're winter vegetables so i plant them now and then they are supposed to explode in the spring).  it's been kinda warm for november the last week or so, which i think has helped.  don't you love growing things? i've been squealing about my babies for days, it's like i just gave birth or something.

i've got a couple new wire sculptures that i'll photo up for my next post.  i had to buy a new roll of wire recently; i ran out of my thin stuff, and home depot didn't have the gauge i wanted anyway, which was frustrating.  i prefer 18 or 20 gauge--a little tougher than the 22 gauge i ended up buying.  22 or 25 gets a bit thin for sculpting, though it's nice for detail work.  i'll make some more little sculptures with it so you can see what i mean.

in the meantime, i'm off to clean the bathroom or something.
