Color and Emotion
No naps today, although I was sick most the day which is a good thing everyone keeps telling me. Being that way, I still managed to get quite a few things done which is also a good thing since we'll be leaving Saturday to take Russ's sculpture to North Carolina.
This morning I interviewed some crane companies in NC and hired one to help us install it at the park. The other art-related thing but again not art, was I finally started to put together a printed portfolio of some of my work to take to the university gallery that has asked me to do a solo show in 2006, gulp! I've been putting off doing the portfolio for a month now, but on Thursday Russ and I will be jurying a student show there, so I thought I better get my act together.
Once I actually got most of it printed out, I felt a lot better about the whole thing. Here's what some of the pages look like.
I had a friend who was having a hard time finishing up this quilt that had a lot of browns in it. When I went to lunch with her one day, she was telling me about how this personality test that she had taken matched up to what she already knew about herself. That she loved to be surrounded by bright, bold colors in her house. So I said, Then why are you trying to make a brown quilt?
I know there are lots of beautiful browns in the world, and I have a quite a few in my stash. But anything that is all about brown would never get finished in my studio either. Anyway, I always tell people that my studio is actually my color therapy room, and I'm never depressed after spending a little time in there with lots of bright colors.

Ok - I'm going crazy not knowing: if people telling you that your being sick is a good thing, does that mean that your worries last week were a false alarm?
You've been in my thoughts every day, and I've been checking your blog, but you haven't mentioned anything until now (and I didn't want to be pushy about it).
I SO hope that everything is well with you and your baby-to-be!
Sorry, but I don't know anything else yet. Will be going for a repeat ultrasound on Friday.
