Playing

Instead of doing her chores and taking out the trash, my daughter decided to play with it instead .... the garbage bags, I mean. She created this ensemble out of two kitchen size garbage bags. I must admit that I think it's very clever. It's also a clear indication that she's got more style than I do; I certainly never would have thought of this. I suppose I should take this as evidence I should listen to her when she says, "Maybe you want to change what you're wearing". Perhaps some day she'll make me an outfit that looks this good...

In another part of the house, I played with the border treatment to a piece of muslin I had used to clean my brushes, then stenciled all over. This is where I've been experimenting with spools as stencils. There's more still to do with this piece, but I thought I'd give you a quick peek.
