Bits & Pieces
Bon matin tout le monde! C’est un jour gris ici a Philadelphia, mais ce soir est une autre classe de screenprinting – et je suis tres heureux!
It’s nice to know that I haven’t completely lost all six years of that somewhat painful language training. I’m in the process of teaching myself Spanish, which isn’t terribly complicated, but I wish there was a larger audience to practice on. At the moment I’ve got a boyfriend who took Spanish in high school and can’t roll his r’s – and the occasional person I come across that would probably be insulted if I tried to speak to them in Spanish because of how poor my grasp is. So what to do? I guess I’ll just HAVE to go to Spain. ha.
Anyway, as I said above Part II of my screenprinting class is tonight – which I’m obviously giddy about (although I’m sure part of that giddiness is the caffiene from this morning’s coffee). More on that tomorrow (more photos!).
I’ve also registered for a spot in the Paper Goods Showcase on Etsy for Friday! I’m not really sure how much traffic it will generate – if at all, but I figured Friday was a good time since, well – no one really wants to be paying attention to work on Fridays anyhow.
Also – on my walk home from last Wednesday’s class, I passed the site for the new Barnes Foundation on the parkway. Demolition is well underway – and soon – construction!
What else? AH YES! New bookmarks will be posted to the Etsy shop this afternoon! My inspiration came from fabrics that I just couldn’t let go of, the realization that embriodery isn’t as hard as it looks, miss Kyla Bea’s bookmark creations, and the fact that I use old unattractive scraps of paper as bookmarks. I’m one of those people that’s usually reading 3 or 4 books at a time, so I should probably stock up on a few. Anyway check the iartaday shop out after 2pm est and you’ll see what i’m on about!
