Woodsilk - Hand Painted Silk & Hand Crafted Felt

Ah, the life of an artist.
Surrounded by hand painted silk. Gorgeous dyes. Silk hangings all around. Working hard in a garret.
Quietly putting dyes and paints onto silk scarves in intricate patterns, steam fixing silk paints, washing silks, ironing...
Er, no.
 Not today.
Not even painting today. It is far too hot.
Not really doing anything much. 30 degrees outside and the garage where I paint on silk is like a sauna. The sun beats in through the window and I can't reach up high enough to pull down the blind since I put in a wide worktop underneath. A good idea, but ... Why do these good ideas always have a flaw?
So I have spent the day tidying.
Sounds boring, yes, true, but necessary sometimes.
I did a craft fair recently and all the boxes of silks were still in the house along with several hangings, so my major contribution to the day has been to cart them all back outside where they belong.
A little sketching, musing about designs and adding something to my website and that's about it.
Feels lazy and since I have a show at the end of the month, I do need to get down to some work, but it isn't going to happen today.
So for those of you who are at the beach or enjoying the garden, good on you, go for it.
If you have to work today, then I feel sad on your behalf and a little guilty that I have been able to give in and do nothing.
Ah, the life of the artist...
