Labor Day is labor day

I started a big project yesterday. It is starting nicely, though I keep changing my mind about which cords to use as spokes and which as weavers.

Made this for Asao's show in the fall, from Elizabeth's doctor's apt reminder (the doctor said this probably over a year ago but it always takes a while for these things to sink in). All paper, thread and shifu and backing.

This grew a bit more today but I have to put it aside for workwork. Mason is on the ceiling of the new beater room, working. Tom is in the paper studio, working, after having hauled things for days with a borrowed truck. Yesterday, Tony took me to a festival held by a Lebanese church where I ate lots of delicious food and realized I was probably the only Asian on site. Tonight, I keep getting eaten by mosquitoes but I am doing my best to continue working.
