The slightly off feeling in my lower back this weekend has turned to raging intense spasmodic pain. I can tell my sacroiliac is most unhappy, I remember this sort of pain. Only now, I can't get to my acupuncture practicioner, and the local pool has been closed for over a year. Ow ow ow ow.

My concept to make hollow forms seems to have worked well. Both for these small "candy buckets.. and after another day the larger jack-o-lantern shape was also dry enough to pull out the yarn and tape layers from the interior. Next they will be painted, and flickery LED tea light turned into a table to set Mr Jack atop...~ creativity challenge ~

There has been all the rest of the pears through the dehydrator, and onto the pantry shelf, and plums into the freezer. Next up will be dealing with the remaining apples, and then tomato time! hopefully by next week I'll have the sauce into the pantry.

Monday is the start of my thirty day challenge. My thought was for it to reference the idea of "opening night"... I'm pretty weak in my ability to use colored pencils, but I'm not sure what of the art media I have here are postcard suitable. (markers go right through the paper, and gouache would run if it got wet, ditto my neocolor watermedia crayons..) There will be another one today, for day two of thirty
