The decking is pretty much sacred. Tyler's feet are still spray painted on the floor, it's always messy with art supplies and tools, and all kinds of people are drawn there like a magnet. Many a beautiful night, parties or otherwise, has been spent wearing away those floorboards. Some of my most memorable meals have been prepared there, the kind that feed your mind and soul. And as the weather warms, my new little office space is over by the giant disco ball, which is presently stored there.
Between the overflowing recycle bins, all my coffee and tea cups, alters, and animals of all sorts, lies the heart of the Enchanted Forest. Robert, Brandon and I replaced the tent and btw, we are still perfecting it. It is nestled high and delicately in the trees with lacing and carabiners. And now the lounge is almost twice as big as it was.
It's more than a living room, more than a kitchen, this plot is always full of creativity, music and vibrant energy. The leaves are bursting from the trees due to the unusually warm winter we have had. I'm glad to be working outside late into the evenings. I recently said goodbye to an old friend Mr. Eyeballs, my old bubble imac, and have fallen madly in love with my new laptop. Und yes that is an 8-track under the 'puter....I love my airstream. I gifted Mr. Eyeball to my dad who is still using dial up... He discovered Craigslist the other day, I was so proud...<3
Johnny and I are enthralled in the building of the new and improved Mandorla structure. The whole structure can be put up or taken down in less than an hour due to it now being assembled with pins and hinges. It's now 30'x30' round and 16' tall. I'm so proud of Juicebox for his fabulous engineering skillz.
The muse came to me again about a week ago. I sure needed it without ArtOutside happening this year, and all the momentum it builds. I'm plowing away and am soo busy right now. I'm reinspired and super excited about this year. Maybe its 'cause spring is here, maybe it's 'cause this TED Talk, but just maybe it's 'cause I'm building right beside the magical Enchanted Forest lounge.
