i love this picture.. i really want to participate in bodypainting..it would be so fun
sometimes, if I'm feeling especially concerned about my future, i look up videos of jellyfish...and somehow, seeing them just floating around...not doing a thing but swimming makes everything seem so insignificant. it's just all about floating around.
i recently discovered one of the greatest albums i've heard from an "indie" band in a while. It's Grizzly Bear's newest. GLORIOUS. and amazing. Please download their album and listen to their song Two Weeks a few times...it's best to listen while driving outside on a hot hot day with no AC, but windows down. (sometimes, when I get into my car after it's been sitting in the sun for a long time, i get a sense of muscles relaxing...my body loves the summer heat.)
!!!!!another amazing discovery. I had festival duties...which is basically like being forced to volunteer to help with either set, props, or the like...I chose set. and for the first time ever in my life, i was given the responsibility of cutting huge wooden 2x4's. with a POWERSAW. Never in my life have a felt so happy to have sawdust floating around me and settling in my hair. I have found my stress release. something about a powersaw eating through wood like it's Pirate's Booty special dissolving popcor makes me feel really happy. maybe it's some subconscious association to real life situations...no matter how hard somehting seems to make it through...there is a way. DING (okay okay...it's a far stretch..) anyway, by the time i had cut 14 pieces, i had to leave...and on my way back to my car, i was so happy...i even thought up haikus on my walk...
i'm making an intricate necklace which will take me another 2 days to finish...it uses tiny seed beads and bead weaving...scary. first project like this.
also...i'm so close to finishing my art book. there's somehting nostalgic about hotglue that i've rediscovered too.
