Splurge!
First I went to the hair and makeup workshop for Quilters. My hairstyle and makeup only took me about 15 minutes to finish. Everyone else's hair was more elaborate than mine. I just pin my hair up in a loose bun and put on basic, more natural looking stage makeup. However, I will have a lot of extra time on my hands. I guess that means I'll have more time to make sure my props are in place or to help the other girls get ready. Or I'll just be bored! In which case, read over lines or read a book.
Anyway, this weekend is the Renaissance Fair. Since Ian couldn't come see me I decided to go and find him a present there. I walked from Norton Auditorium to the fair in a light drizzle. It rained heavily all morning, so I thought that the fair would be rained out, but apparently not! I walked in all the tents and inspected their wares. I found a delicate amber ring for myself, a green malichite egg-shaped pendant on a silver necklace for either my mother or grandmother, a silver tree of life necklace for my sister and a beautiful silver tree pendant for Ian. Ian doesn't wear jewelry and never has, so I thought I'd give him something special to remind him of me. I have a beautiful and unique necklace he bought me, so I thought I'd do the same for him. However, it was very difficult finding something special enough that could also be worn by a male. I think that if I put the pendant on a leather cord or something it will be manly. I just hope he likes it. I got several male opinions on the matter and they said they'd wear it. I couldn't keep it to myself, so I told Ian that I had a surprise for him. Of course he tried to guess what it was and every guess he made was somehow related to sex. I wonder what he wants to do next weekend...hmmm... Anyway, I don't think he'd be expecting this. I hope he likes it!!!
After I wandered around the fair, I went to the art building and printed my second color on my color-reduction PVC print. I couldn't get the colors registered perfectly, but some of the prints will do. Maybe I can fix it when I print the last color. Oh, how I cursed up a storm. I've started getting stressed out very quickly this past year. I don't know why. Maybe because everything I do has a high level of stress or frustration attached to it. Oh, well. I also worked on my sculpture and got some movies from the library. And...I'm about to watch one of those movies...so...yeah.
