...day three...
We did it.
I really don't know how.
No of us do.
But the client called and he loves the backdrops. Everyone does. Hopefully it will be on the cover of October's issue of Interview magazine. More often than you would imagine the story gets trashed. Don't like the hair, make-up is wrong, photos too daring and everyone's work never sees the light of day. Interview is a risk-taking magazine, so hopefully this one will stick! We have had a couple of magnificent backdrops that we painted for one of the big magazines and they didn't like the hair, so no story. All of that work, all of that money and nothing to show for it!! This business is pretty strange. Sarah tries not to really know what we are painting for, but I like to know so I can keep up our portfolio up to date and keep changing the front page of our website.
Here is a photo of the studio after chaos has left. We are painting at the far end of the studio.
Now Johanna and I are sitting in the office, tying to stay cool and recuperate from the two crazy days and what comes in the door, but the mail person a package for ME. And it is from the incredible and amazing Martha of Naive Knitting. I am in awe of her. She has a series called "Boxing Monday's" that is coming to a close, but you must watch her slideshow. The boxes are only four & a half inches square, but packed with incredible words and items. Delicate, marvelous and thought provoking.
Love them.
Thank you so much Martha.
She deserves a prize back, I'll have to wait and see what creation of mine she is interested in!
Here is a picture of 'my' amazing little boxes. There is a great little finger print under the word clue. LOVE THEM!!!!

first, your series on the client and the work, etc. had me so nervous for you. i was just catching up so i was reading from the bottom up and found myself wanting to skip ahead to see if you made it. what a great post!
second, i'm very jealous of your artwork from Naive Knitting. she is AMAZING!!! lucky you and you deserve it -- one inspiring person should get something amazing from another inspiring person. it all goes around and around and around...
glad your craziness with that client is over for now! mav
