blurb

I didn't get to get my party on yesterday, but that's okay. Instead, I:

-cleaned my studio, including the removal of a frightening amount of mouse poo
-sanded my pizza stone down to baby's-ass smoothness (worked great!)
-disassembled, moved, and reassembled one of my drawing tables, and it is stronger than it was before
-moved art supply drawers, artwork, and odd and ends
-tweaked and rearranged the lighting setup in my studio (me precariously balanced on a stepladder with duct tape and pliers, woo)
-made [personal profile] onyxlynxx and I pizza from scratch. I have a batch of really horny yeast this time around, apparently.
-wrote a poem, sort of
-was confounded by copper tape
-had a noisy conversation with my body
-finished an ink and pastel piece, cursed the flattening effect of pastel fixative loudly
-sketched out some oddities
-sent lots of slightly odd text messages

It was a good, if slightly strange, day.  I'm feeling...hell, I don't know how I'm feeling.  More undone but less overwhelmed.  That's not quite right.  Maybe that's not right at all. Herm.  I'm going to cook some quinoa and pour mushroom soup over it.

Nice that the yeast was horny. (Right?)

:)

I love that icon

Horny yeast is a good thing. These yeasties were really after it - I got a crust about an inch thick after rolling it down to about a quarter inch before putting it in the oven. Surprise!

If you like the icon, check out this.

And thick pizza crust is a happy thing, IMO.

Were you "foiled" by copper tape? :)

Bwa ha ha, I amuse myself!

Seriously, from the art store or the home despot store or what? Where do you get copper tape, and can I use it to make a slave-girl Leia outfit? :>

:D

Copper tape from a stained-glass supply store. It's about a half-inch wide and really, really thin, and dastardly to work with, especially for collaging purposes. They may have thicker/wider kinds, but this stuff would be brutal for large projects.

The pizza was most yummy! Thank you again.
