Maybe because Last Night was a repeat....
Sep. 21st, 2006 09:23 amMy brain takes me some interesting places in my sleep. Last night I dreamt that I was in the workroom at Project Runway where the designers had to make dresses from tissue boxes with all the drama that ensued. I even had Tim come in and comment on each dress and say that signature phrase, "Make it work." He criticized one designer for using the tissues that were in the box rather than just the box itself.
I have decided to do another doll challenge. It was just such a fun idea to translate how an artist might create a doll. They had a list of artist available and I got my first choice of Rene Magritte. My second and third choices were Remedios Varo and Joan Miro. I hadn't really looked at Varo's art before but I could see all kinds of possibilities. Magritte is going to be enough of a challenge. I happen to know that Miro did make dolls and puppets so there is less of a challenge in that then trying to figure out how Magritte would make a doll. I'm already thinking marionette for it.
Cleaning went OK yesterday. Now I have to kick it into high gear by Sunday. I think I can get it all done and make it look good. Part of it is telling Caroline that she can't have every toy she owns in the living room and that her bins have to stay (with the toys) in her bedroom except for the things she is playing with currently. I figure if she learns this now then she'll keep up the behavior as she gets older which means I'll have less to clean. (Yeah I know I am dreaming but it is worth a try.)
I know I keep promising photos of the puppets and I plan to get to that on Monday because I need to take some photos of the last Doctors I finished along with a couple of fluzzies.
Thank you for all your kind thoughts about Rabbi David. He is doing better and is on the mend. His wife wanted me to tell y'all that she appreciates all the good wishes for his recovery.
I am grateful for inspiration.
