13-Hour Workday Hat
Thursday, March 4, 2010
Some new projects and work, and I’m pulling long hours; over 13 a day and I call it a shocker. Shockers mean my typing goes funny and my brain turns to eggs. (The original title of this post was “13hour Wordkay HAt.” Seriously.)
When my brain’s like that, all I can really do is crochet. It’s repetitive, it’s soothing, it requires no higher brain functions and barely any muscle control. So these days when I work a lot, I generate hats. They bob up in my wake, the result of one-too-many late night subway rides.
The newest hat, below. It is 20s-themed and pleases me.

Oh, and sleep. Sleep pleases me very much…

Here’s my latest jewelry piece, a double pendant. The small necklace is rounded and resembles a seashell; the larger is flat, rough at the edges and etched with miniature leaves. These pieces are sort of what I was talking about when I said I was trying to give my Precious Metal Clay sculptures more love and care. I’m trying to return to treating the material as unique and full of quirky texture, instead of manipulating it to mimic other types of silver jewelry.

This portrait is different! I mean, besides the breasts. But they’re part of it. Er, obviously.
This drawing is a hold-over from the last time I was doing portraits, almost 2 years ago. When I started the new round of portraits, I realized a) I’d never colored this piece, and b) the subject already thought it was spiffy. Oh, and c) subject has NO good pictures of herself online. (Wtf, subject?)
Er, yes. Besides differences in quality of line and likeness that perhaps only I can see, the key difference is that this portrait had no photo source, unlike the current round. It came from my head, caricature fashion.
Part of me is still convinced that using photos as source material is cheating. Cheating what? I’m not sure. But it’s certainly easier for me to translate photos to paper than it is for me to make my friends sit still long enough to draw them.
Anyway. Glad to be doing more of these, and have about 10 stacked up to finish coloring. More art shall be.
