1. It's due to be around 40 degrees tomorrow. Blech! My snow!! My precious snow!!
2. Cinnamon Raisin Toast. Oh man. I've eaten half the loaf. I'm struggling with whether or not to leave it alone, or eat the other half too, to destroy the evidence that I am a shameless glutton who eats half a loaf of bread. Makes sense...right?
3. I am slowly gaining ground, and realizing (again) how much I enjoy sharing letters with friends. I truly enjoy it so much.
4..One of the dogs is dreaming next to me. Her hackles are raised, and I'm cracking up!
5. I habitually have too many irons in the fire, and while not physically beat, I am emotionally exhausted. Tonight is dedicated to tea and a movie.
6. Zombie fiction is a guilty pleasure of mine. The movie will be Shaun of the Dead.
7. There may also be more toast.
I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend!

These are 10x15 inch pine boards. And yes, I have lots of storage in my shelf by the window. My dining room is really more of a studio working space.

And then we rub like we never rubbed before. Seriously. To make sure the photo transfers onto the wax, you have to rub this sucker HARD. I like to put all my weight onto the spoon as i rub. I'll rub so hard, that the wax underneath will move around. You need a really sturdy table for this. If your table is not sturdy, it's gonna be really frustrating.
Also, that spoon is gonna get REALLY hot if you are rubbing it right. Seriously. It's metal. It gets hot! I fold up a paper towl and put it in the bowl of the spoon. You know what else is cool about spoons? You can use one hand to press down on the bowl of the spoon, and use the other hand to hold the handle. One hand is pressing down. The other hand is guiding the spoon around.
Don't bother trying to use that wooden tool just to the left. I tried that on one of my photos and it sucked big time. Half the image didn't transfer! Wooden ceramics tool, you need to stay in the ceramics department where you belong!
Was I too mean to the wooden ceramics tool?
Another thing. When you think you've rubbed it enough, repeat the rubbing and spend twice as much time as you think you'd need. This part is really important.

A fairly crowded photograph. The building reminds me of Lego pieces and that is strange because I never played with Lego.
This is an illustration for a blog post about bouncy balls in elevators. (giggle. that phrase sounds funny)
This piece was selling for $11,000 by London's Woolf Gallery at ArtChicago; which seems a lot for a bunch of Rubik's cubes, but think about it. If a Rubik's cube sells for $11, then it would cost $8,448 to buy 768 of them. However, I'm assuming if you are buying 768 Rubik's cubes, then you'll get a massive discount. But even then, let's say you get them for half off, then that's $4,224.
And then all the time spent getting each cube to have the right color. But that shouldn't be too hard, because you only have to get the right color combination on one face.

I'd like to see what the back of the sculpture looks like. It's nice that the artist and gallery offers us a view of the side. Actually, that's what made me realize they are rubik's cubes. Which having the side of the artwork reveal the medium is interesting. But then that's what people often do when looking at a painting or a uniquely created photo. You look at the edge to see what it's on.
One other thing. The number of Rubik's cubes are incorrect in the label. There are 22 cubes wide. 32 cubes high. That makes for 704 cubes, not 768.
You can't undo what you did in the past, but you can start a new future. Have faith, be confident, and step forward!! Sometimes when you start a new future it means that you no longer have some of the same people from your past in your future. Sometimes, that is not a bad thing. ......I am walking into my destiny. {Random Thoughts 11.7.10}

I woke up this day with alot on my mind. I wanted to be by myself and just be with my thoughts. I needed a place to think. This is where I ended up - Tybee Island. Sitting on the beach and listening to the waves as they rolled in and rolled out helped me to put things in the right perspective. I was looking forward to returning home to see some of the key people in my life that I had missed while I was away on my family trip. {Random Thoughts 9.17.10}

A bashed in nail looks like the number seven. These three nails spell out 777 for the flickr group 07_07_07 in honor of the day 07/07/07. I like how the nails also look like they are doing a dance. It's hammer time!

After sitting on the fence, the apples rolled over to the baseball field in Chicago's Winnemac Park and sat on the bench.
