If by "she", we mean "me", Tom wonders that all the time. Up there in his little tower, busily herding his cats, he doesn't see what kind of trouble I'm getting myself into every day. So, here's a little update for everyone...
Several months ago, I designed t-shirts for The Pittsburgh Project. Several weeks ago, they asked if I would recreate one of them in watercolor form, which I was glad to do.
It will be one of the parting gifts as the founder/director, Saleem Ghubril, a dear friend and all-around amazing human, moves on to a position with the City of Pittsburgh (which must have a very fine sense of judgment). Here are shots of one of the designs (could NOT crop that image any better, for some goofy reason I'll never understand), and then the watercolor from it. I have no idea why the photo of the watercolor is so blue, since I painted it on white paper (sigh). Try to imagine something a bit less, um, blue, if you can (too lazy to work on it in Elements).Meanwhile, out in the shop, I'm in the early stages of building three glass panels for CCC. Don't have running water out there, yet, so I'm using a plastic trash can almost filled up. It's working fine, for now.
As I'm getting into it, there are other little things that still need some refinement, so progress on the panels is pretty slow, at this stage. I finally ordered the glass for the light box (that broke in the move), for example, which should be here this next week, yada yada and so on...
So, yeah, I'm doin' some stuff. And squeezing in a bit of Scrabulous with Kyle. She cleaned my clock, this last game (may I please whine a little about too many vowels?).
Finally, two things: This FUNNY video sent in by Ruth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUCwo2dpffg
