Thurs-Fri

Went to bed a little after midnight, so very early Thursday, my right knee decided to give me grief without warning. Worked on the muscles, tendons, etc. a bit and went to sleep.

More web stuff (officers), correspondence, laundry, etc. Painted exterior door frame on studio. Boxed auction stuff to take to work. Worked 3pm - 7:45pm, with a 5 minute break for work on my knee by one of the docs because it was giving me grief again. And yes, I did ice it, both at work and when I got home. ellid came by work and picked up the box, and will take it to EKU. Too tired when I got home, so just visualized stuff to do on scroll.

Had an idea for a gift for this weekend, and have started work on gathering the bits. Tagged a bunch of LJ stuff this a.m., then got to work on the scroll. Visualization seems to be working pretty well, got quite a bit done. Need some new brushes, though. Maybe next week.

November Rose

The rose bush by the studio is still blooming. You know those herbal books with the depictions of a plant in all its growth phases, from bud to seed on it? Here's a closeup on the rosebush, with bud, open flower, and rosehip:

A bit of spinning fun

Here's one of my ongoing projects, the bombyx mori/yak top I got at Rhinebeck:


It's a little out of focus, sorry. That's my hand holding the spindle, for scale.

Back to painting...
