i think this is my new favorite house picture. it is so perfectly altaristic. i know exactly how i can use it. i have been scouring my images for the more altaristic ones. i need them. it is such a struggle to make the bigger pieces. in the meantime i make tons of new small ones. and little bizness cards. it was fun to take them to the city on Friday night and leave a few on tables in galleries, where the Big Artists had their nice printed postcards. by the time i came back to the front, they were gone. i liked that. but still … i want to do the big pieces. it is terribly frustrating. to be so fearful. maybe this new house picture will inspire me. it also reminds me that it will soon be time to resume Mean Little Places! oh!
it was a very solitary weekend. i felt a little crazy, but luckily i talked to my sisters, my mother, my poet and even … BETSY! man i am so glad i sold the iMac last week and now i can go see Betsy in LA at T-giving time. Margaret and i are flying there. we will stay in a hostel and we will probably all have to eat peanut butter, but so what?? it will be GREAT!
today i am so delighted to be wearing my shabby Elf Boots again! hooray for fall! i wish to get my cowgirl boots nice and broken in, but it is so hard. i hate the getting-there of nice wabi-sabi boots. also wearing my two new favorite thriftShop finds - a black 2-layer floaty skirt - and a white embroidered and tucked shirt that looks Edwardian (to go with all the Englishy DVD’s and mysteries i have been devouring lately). i wish they didn’t still smell so thriftShoppy though - i’ve laundered them at least twice.
