Yesterday was a really looonnnnnnngggg day...I was out for over 12 hours straight. After taking my oldest grandson, Adrian, to his school bus, I kept going and a headed to the studio, (by 1:00 I was ready for a nap and thought about my comfy chair which I miss). I worked on trying to redeem my bruised ego from last week's disappointments. I started 3 new cloths and reached the point were I was ready to steam them before going any further. Here they are wrapped in newspaper with the ones I did last week and forming a sculpture in the window...
While I was there Petra called me to remind me of a presentation at The Filson Historical Society that started at 6 which I thought was going to be on Thursday. My shirt was filled with dye stains. Petra lives close to Mellwood and the presentation was also not far away. Petra agreed to loan me a shirt to keep me from having to go all the way home. So I stayed at Mellwood until 5 and headed to the presentation...Two Centuries of Black Louisville: A Photographic History. These 3 authors are powerhouses alone in their respective fields and the book represents 15-20 years of research on their individual efforts and 5 years of working on the book collectively.
After the presentation Petra treated me to dinner at Smoketown USA. A place I kept promising myself to go to but have never tried, mainly because it is not in a high visibility area. But the food was good, the joint was crowded for a Tuesday night, and the back room is a yard sale room where you can purchase other people's junk that you don't need. Cool.
I'm not sure if I'm going to the studio today...the spirit is willing but the body is weak. I might just stay home and curl up with my laptop to read a downloaded book, Indigo: In Search of the Color that Seduced the World, by Catherine E. McKinley.
