Summer Ends in Hell

It's another day of record heat. Water is the only comfort when it's this hot and humid. There are nice giant thunderhead clouds circling the city, looking very tropical. I would love a hot rain.

Or a breeze at this point. Going back out to another Free Market to score some shirts for our new stencil designs. Much rather be submerged in water up to my neck.

Yes i know, a horribly lit photo. But its only a sneak peek. Its the sketch of my newest quilt, "Flamingo Me" and going to be my very first quilt contest entry, therefore, i do not want to show it till it's ready. I spent three days working on the sketch, and right now it's 3ft x 3ft square. I'm sure i'll need to add a bit more as a boarder to have it meet the contest size criteria, but it looks absolutely fabulous.

I also have a new studio resident, Beast. Caught in the outdoor studio of Roach, he was one of two i kept. The other, aptly named "Beauty" died on the second day.

Jon had a regular widow infestation going on, six plus Brown Widows, and two fat Black Widows. Plus more hiding along the edges of their front walkway planter. Fun times!

I had a little Zine day, which though i extended the invite to 'friends', only three were in attendance. No matter, i was determined to make a new zine, and that i did, actually one and a half. To be noted, Roach made his first zine, a "Praise Bob" tribute zine of course.

I chose to illustrate a lovely poem by Christina Rossetti in 1857 entitled "A Nightmare". **Warning** Mature content follows...view at your own risk.

And the other evening, i spent a lovely time taking photos of different vintage 'Horizon' books at the Grind. Here's a taste of the inspiration i gathered. How i'd love to live here. This is the castle of my mind.
