So here I was intently measuring in 16ths the exact center of a pendant so I could attach the bail, when Jake, who is nothing if not enthusiastic about everything, jumps down from the interior window ledge just out of frame, throws himself down, flailing with delight, offering up his belly for a rub, while around him havoc ensues and everything goes flying. Everything!
There is nothing for it but to grab anything critical, laugh, hope for the best...and of course, give Jake a belly rub and a kiss.
An alarm which I very nearly slept through had me 25 minutes behind track, a quick check of weather satellite pictures on my iPad and a glance out of the window into the semi darkness had me dashing downstairs. I had expected to be able to go back to bed but the easterly moving overnight band of cloud had slowed up so that there would be cloud overhead but it would be clearer at the easterly horizon. A mad dash through Lyndhurst was all the more excruciating with a pinky purple glow already coming through the passenger window. I leapt the roadside barriers at Ober Water only 15 minutes before sunrise.

About 14" x 20" right now. I am thinking about adding a scrappy square (or half-square triangle?) border in red-orange-blue-green and binding in yellow. Or possibly red. What do you think?
Workin' on some postcards for Val. Day postcard swap. I think I may add some gesso to "pull" this busy collage together...
p.s. this is an altered card..the original is a very large childrens playing card.
Continuing my experiments into the question of identity.
These wrapped figures are only temporarily attached to the canvas: their position in the group can change how the viewer reads their relationship.
Mixed media: brown paper, computer paper, stitch and gesso.
