Wednesday-really!

It is really Wednesday and I am showing my work table in all its driven state.  Well, the result of MY somewhat driven state.  Lots going on - preparation for the Bodacious Bangle classes at the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery.And I am still being distracted by my imitative beads - I'm now onto turquoise and ivory.  I justified this distraction by making a small gift in ivory for each participant.  It was create those or pack boxes.  A no brainer.  And doing that gave me energy for the boxes!Then, and this is what the photos are of, I wanted to finish another papier mache display bust.  We came up with these in Nepal in response to needing a cheap and effective way to display the ladies' work.  It's another fabulous procrastinatory activity should you need one.  Not hard, but slow - requiring a degree of mindfulness and there is that wonderful glow you get because you are recycling!  After putting layers of newspaper on a torso I got from Reverse Garbage in Sydney, I top the lot with Nepali daphne paper.  I have run out of my ivory paper so am onto the gorgeous bold colours I bought the odd one or ten sheets of. I hope you are having a creative, little less driven Wednesday!
