Today's creation was quick and dirty. I'm not sharing it with anyone except the competition judges, so there!
On Saturday we submitted a design for a local record label's 15th birthday competition. That one may make it here to the site because I'm actually smitten by it. Is it weird to be so proud of one day's work? I think it might be.
Hopefully it will cool down enough for me to go upstairs to the painting studio and work on some analog stuff for a change. I feel like I'm going blind from staring at a computer screen all the time. I have a big nature painting sitting up there that needs to be finished. I was working on it a few months ago but haven't done so in a while because there was so much else going on around here. And I think my acrylic skills need serious work. So perhaps if I go up there with the intention of completing something it will actually get done. One can hope.
There hasn't been much else going on around here besides gardening. We put up some frames to contain the giant squashes and brambles, and I guess that was an exercise in creativity. The big sustainability issue of the week is our refrigerator. It has not stopped running in about a week, and we turned it down to the warmest setting and it still didn't stop running. We're disappointed because we were hoping to get to our chest fridge idea before our old one died. But now we have to get a new fridge, and it can't wait for me to figure out how to do the counter-top door idea. I have it designed in my head, but we have to go get parts and make a mock up... There isn't time for all that. And in all honesty I'd prefer to do the chest fridge when we are prepared to redo the whole kitchen. The room is just too small for it at this time.
Meanwhile, we'll be entering in more competitions. Some will be unofficial and we won't actually submit anything because we're not that interested in winning, just the process of doing them. And with so many entries, such as with today's submission, chances of getting paid are slim. So here's to fun times!
