Actually, Work Happening Downstairs

I find myself working downstairs. Moving around the chopping block table and pushing the bench / chest to the side for puppet making. I quite like having a fluid space downstairs that can transform to fit my needs. My art making materials are still up in the loft. But I now plan on having that be a second bed region, and keeping my art stuff in the 3' storage area under my bed, where I can easily pull it out, work and make a mess, and then retract everything into order. It's so nice to have a second bed ready for friends and passersby. The luxury of a guest bed, even in a 6' 10" wide by 16' long trailer.

Puppets Moving In in the Morning

A day of things sculptural, falling out of boxes. The bed in the loft got put on top the bed where I had thought I would put my studio. After living in the house though, I realize how much I like having the bed in the main living space so it can serve as a large couch at all times I'm not sleeping in it. I also know my workspace / puppet world would overtake my tidy living space in an instant (as it did today), and so, I am going to experiment this week with having the loft as my workspace. Since I tend to work on the ground, this may work fine. Additionally, as long as the weather is nice, I will be able to open the roof to the sky, with no limitations on standing upright.

Alfred Jarry / Ubu Roi

...his last request was for a toothpick. "When he finally had one in his fingers it seemed, his doctor, writes, 'as if he were suddenly filled with a great joy as on the days he went off fishing or on a canoe or a bicycle trip. I barely stepped aside to talk to the nurse when he signalled me to turn around. He was drawing his last breath.'" (See article.)
