got together with canvas and our imaginations to create something
along the theme of "journey" for her and her husbands house. It was
very impressive.
Timon and I did a painting together : )
There were abstract paintings, scenes from Yunnan, scenes of special
events, family foot print one (two and adults and one baby hopping
around with paint on one foot to the bathroom!) and one of Honduras-
like a map aerial view.
Ours was inspired by a scenic tapestry I saw in Japan(airport) and
then I turned more into my life- Oakland hills, San Francisco bay,
Redwood forests where I ran, to apt high rises, the shanghai
waterfront, and barges in the huangpu. And a bowl of la mien. At the
end of the day, there's always la mien. (Spicy noodles in soup)
I was discouraged because I had too many ideas and not so much time-
the others were eating all the food- Timon was encouraging and we
worked together to make it come together. I keep thinking I wanted to
touch up areas, but in the end I'm pretty satisfied. Since I have a
history of not finishing projects, I am happy to practice being
content with projects that in the basically-finished-forever-can be
touched up phase. Woo!
We learned this weekend that when preparing small green chilies, to
wear gloves and not bare hands. Ouchy.
