Been a While
Whew, Ok, in May of last year I developed two different autoimmune diseases at the same time, so I've been dealing with non stop tests and doctor stuff since then. In August of last year we moved to Seattle, the move was a week after I had my kidney biopsy, so I had to switch doctors in the middle of getting a diagnosis along with all the other moving stuff. But my treatment has been going pretty well. I've had very few day to day symptoms, its just alot of mental real estate taken up with tests and meds and dietary restrictions etc. Hopefully I'm past the most drastic treatments at this point. My course of immunosuppressants seem to have done a good job so far. My new place is fantastic, I've got a reasonable sized studio and a separate little sewing area. I need to get back in the studio painting again, I've still got one piece from my flood series unfinished. I've been having alot of fun decorating and painting the new place. So I have been doing some painting but it's
Birthday and another move
So I turn 35 today. We've been in California for over a month now but we're still waiting on our stuff b/c of a port dispute. Right now the only piece of furniture in the house is the new futon. The company wouldn't let me move my paints so I'm going to have to replace all my liquid/paste art supplies. A friend from the Netherlands has already sent me a new starter set as a birthday present.
I didn't get any painting done in Enschede, although I had just primed a canvas and was still working out my sketches for it when we had to move. I haven't uploaded any of my sketches from the past 2 years b/c my scanner wasn't working with the new
Big Move
Am in the Netherlands, Enschede specifically. Will be stuck in hotel for a month before moving into tiny campus housing. Getting my clothing and crafting/art supplies arranged in it will be a challenge, and of course still waiting for those to show up anyway. Will be working smaller for a bit most likely. Am freaking out alot and doing some serious hiding in hotel, yay anxieties. I get to add a language barrier (all be it a mild one given the prevalence of English) to my normal Social Anxiety. Wishing for my playstation so I could do some mindless dragon slaying, but it is still in transit as well.
Freret Market
I'll be selling at the Freret Market on Oct. 1st from 12 to 5. I'll be in the newb section in the back so my exact spot is not assigned. I will have my smaller paintings with me, including all the little day of the dead pieces, as well as most of my chainmaille. I'm also taking this as an opportunity to wear my first chainmaille top, which I just completed this month.
