Round Up

^Ben just posted some new music^

along with finally putting out some of his ink drawings

 I've been super busy and manic...  I have about a week left to round up all these loose ends and make it happen.  I dragged every piece up to the living room so I can multi-task hanging out with the kiddos and working.  Late nights.  Lots of coffee...  and more coffee....  and yet more coffee...

The first round of hand-painting 150 or so porcelain spiders.

Practice install for the spacelab show.  My friend, Megan, suggested that I carry the web out further and down to the floor as well.  You have no clue how excited I am to run with that idea!  It'll be in a corner next time and Brian helped me tweak the lighting.

Plans to play with the shadow more... 

And rabbits are coming to an end...  The last two get hollowed out and some legs and finishing details tonight! 

My rabbit/horse/cat/wolf/dog fell asleep with her nose in Ben's school book.
