A Horny Project


Our wonderful Laurel, Mistress Michel, gave us apprentices a project. She gave each of us a different "sense" from the Lady and the Unicorn series of tapestries. Demi's was Taste - perfect for her since she cooks. Caoilfhionn's was Sound - she sings. Mine was Touch. Have you ever looked closely at the tapestry of Touch? It's got a little S-n-M action happening. lol Michel wanted up to recreate an element from the tapestry. Egads! Should I make a stuffed monkey wearing chains? Should I do a puppet that when you pull the tab, the lady's hand slides up and down the horn? Should I be safe and just paint a portion of the tapestry on canvas? I thought, why not a unicorn horn "cozy"? But no, that would not be a nice gift to give the new King and Queen at Coronation. Michel told me not to do anything like that. I countered with, what if Lucan and Jana win? :-D Jana had a sewing fest on Saturday and told me to bring Big Fun. So, now I had to do the unicorn horn "cozy"! I did up a research paper which is what Jana and Michel are reading in the picture. I think they just got to the part of where to place the horn. lol And you can see the finished piece in the other picture. Also known as Big Fun. lol (No matter what order I try to put the pictures in to load, the horn picture kept coming in first. Go figure.)

Yeah, I'm a bad apprentice. But bad in a good way. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I get my real project done in time for Coronation. :-)

Yesterday, I got nearly everything done off my list. One of the things I couldn't do because I hadn't done something the day before. Hoping to get all caught up on that project today. However I have gotten one scroll penciled in. But I can't find my kneadable eraser (to lift off the pencil lines so that they're only a faint line). So, I had to add one more errand for today.

Once Coronation is done or if I'm lucky and get everything done before Coronation, I really need to clean my office and get things organized. Maybe even do a little downsizing.

I better go get some breakfast before it's lunch time. Hope everyone is having a great day!
