Discoveries

I'm sure I'm not the first person to realize this, but I was struggling w/the usual drawing on the window to get backlighting, but then realized how to make my own portable lightbox with no electricity: plastic storage bins! I can get right on top of the piece while hugging the bin and since it's empty, it's light enough to move around to get whatever lighting I need. This is why it's good to live w/someone obsessed with "storage solutions" yet too busy to actually use them.

I got a few more pieces done today but am not thrilled about how they turned out. Then I got sidelined and haven't recovered and have been doing things like watching videos on how to cook cornish hens. And eating too many shrimp flavored chips.

I did a phone interview w/the features editor from the Post-Star this afternoon to talk about my show, and I'm terrified that I pulled another TMI session where I said all sorts of things that will make me sound like an oaf. I wish there was a physical filter, like a mouth guard, that I could put on my mouth in these situations.
