and though I’m fearful (how apropos) of buying yet another book to help inspire/encourage/stimulate/give momentum to daily creativity this one looks different. Hm. Actually I have been working more than ever recently on cards, scarves, mosaics, drawing but it’s still not living up to my ideal of me hanging around every day in scruffy clothes (yet still looking vaguely attractive) sketching, painting, making mosaics and writing fascinating journal entries. Isn’t that silly? To use that fantasy as a stick? I’m blathering now. Just do it.

finished up the second velvet-burnout scarf. There are some things I like better about #2 and some things I prefer from the first scarf (made last November during a workshop). So to do’s are (1) check if I have enough velvet left to start another one (2) get some stencil paper and make some of my own leaf-stencils (3) make some more test swatches and try leaf-printing in the burned-out sections with the metallic dyes and (4) get (or make) some thickened dye paste and try overdye-ing some leaf shapes on the colored velvet.

on the Olympic peninsula to Victoria harbor, right across from the Empress hotel! There are daily sailings and it’s super-reasonably priced! Max loves ferry rides. And I love fun day-trips. Might make this a weekend trip though. My cousin has a place in Port Townsend. Maybe we’d go to Port Townsend for a day then do the Port-Angeles-Victoria leg a second day…
