Henry Todd - The Demon Barber of Williston


Tonight was trick or treating. I finished up Henry's Sweeney Todd- We had about 20 minutes for hair and make-up then he had to be out the door with his buddies- He looked great even though we struggled with the black hair gel.

Then there was door to door candy begging with our littlest one- It was amazing how many people knew he was a character from LOTR. Way cool.

in dreams

how unsettling it can be that i can dream about talking to someone - and the dream is so strangely real- yet surreal- then to have the person call me out of the blue- when i haven't heard from them in weeks and weeks. is there a connection in dreams that bends reality?

Missing You

it's been a while since i have talked to any of my closest friends- we are all absorbed in our busy lives- i am getting the kids ready to leave to camp tomorrow, preparing for an art show on 7/19 and working on photo samples at work- the summer is probably the quietest time at Burton- leaves lots of time for mental reflection- i suppose i feel out of touch. maybe a little overwhelmed- definitely lonely-

i suppose it is just Saturday night and my brain is just thinking a little too much

any way- i am missing you all very much
reaching out from my perch on high in the green mountains
where are you?

Friends of Mine- WIP finished


When i went to NYC last week- i brought the finished foldout books to Jennifer, Michael, Ted and Patrick. I'm mailing Heather's and LaBarca's tomorrow. Too many months in the making, this book is 4 5.25" x 5.25" squares, collaged, front and back. i inserted a CD with a playlist that has been running through my head since the reunion.
  

















i don't usually work with contemporary photos, so this was a stretch for me. the style is very a la quick journal entry. mixed up with photos, vintage paper, pastels, gel medium, marker and masking tape.  
I'm happy with the way it came out- although there are things i would change if i did it again.
But now it's done and i can move onto other things. Now the music on the blog will change back to soundtrack to art. there are many projects to work on many things to complete this summer.  until we meet again.

Coral Room

There’s a city,
draped in net
Fisherman net
And in the half light,
in the half light
It looks like every tower
Is covered in webs
Moving and glistening and rocking
It’s babies in rhythm
As the spider of time is climbing
Over the ruins
There were hundreds of people living here
Sails at the windows
And the planes came crashing down
And many a pilot drowned
And the speed boats flying above
Put your hand over the side of the boat
What do you feel?
My mother and her little brown jug
It held her milk
And now it holds our memories
I can hear her singing“Little brown jug don’t
I love thee”“Little brown jug don’t I love thee”
Ho ho ho, hee hee heeI hear her laughing
She is standing in the kitchen
As we come in the back door
See it fall See it fall
Oh little spider climbing out of a broken jug
And the pieces will lay there a while
n a house draped in net
In a room filled with coral
Sails at the window
Forests of masts
Put your hand over the side of the boat
Put your hand over the side of the boat
What do you feel?

Space 1999

There has been much discussion at work has been about new designs for the upcoming season- i remarked to one of my colleagues that the protos looked all scifi- like Space1999- her response was ? what's that??

i guess i hit a generation gap-


my sister and i LOVED this show when we were kids- not sure why- i look at the pictures now and it is soooo cheezy- my that's what was so appealing....


anyway- the most remarkable thing is- i think the character maya really reminds me of Penelope- she will probably killing me for saying so- but i was entralled with the character back in the day- with her shape shifting powers- she was AMAZING!!!! and she's gorgeous to boot!
Colin would make a good captain of a space ship, too. And i LUV the way the shows producers tried to take the Mission Impossible cast and just stick them in outer space!
