Tile Project in work

Laying out color for tile install and detail glazing on quail tile. Quail has a bit more refinement to come, and then select background to coordinate with surround. This is to cover the water pipe stuff on side of house.

Skirt and top...silk

Quite a perspective, does it also hide the lack of crafpersonship ? Silk skirt from friend made bigger to fit me, and silk top made the simple "fold over" and cut out shape method (selvage edge for the armhole openings...clean w/o sleeve hem.)

I began to realize the silk I was using was different than what I have used before -- I have had much easier sewing with silk charmeuse. Think this was crepe back silk satin. I took the lazy path this time -- grabbed the black bolt, didn't dye it from white myself...and the fabric difference ending up making it more challenging. A fine way to determine what not to do next time. Silk charmuese is easier for me to handle -- hems easier, stays put better while sewing, doesn't thread pull like I found this in sewing (uga), etc. I need to re-work the top on this still ...unless I want to pretend a Neanderthal executed the neckline.

Ice Cream Clowns..scary version

The idea was cuteness -- the outcome was pathetically goofy. Melty ice cream that did not seem
to recover well enough to do a solid role..and then lack of piping skill/time taking. Wonder if the amount of caramel in the ice cream thwarted some "frozen" attributes of the ice cream container as a whole? Well yes, ownership on the assembly person too!
