messy art

After I shoveled the latest snow storm off my driveway I took the trash to the transfer station (9:54) then went to the grocery store where I got the essentials of black olives, mayo and lorna doon cookies (must be winter) and then was at the bank by 10:15...there must be more than one time zone in Haines! Either that or superman was doing that earth going backwards thing again.

After the chores were done, I skated over to the Market for my free coffee and to the library for a stack of books and magazines. Then it happened....

I was suddenly overwhelmed by a need for a messy art space. I got a couple of two by fours at Lutak Lumber...great all around hardware store if you need one when you're here visiting. Then home to drill a million holes in the walls looking for the ever elusive stud to hang up my table braces. The walls are built on 16 inch centers, but the window isn't near a stud nor is that interior wall, whutever. Anyway.... I now have a Messy Art Area. Paint and dye and printmaking and....
maybe some soldering or metal pounding or...who knows! Over on the left is the cousin of the address fish, it is probably destined to be a gift.
