Easter Sunday.

The birds are singing but the sun is hiding.
My large chicken is sitting in the fridge totally unaware of it's future; that maybe one day it could be included in Kathryn's portfolio, a large ball of chicken bones!

I have my plaster slabs to sand today; they have taken weeks to dry out due to the size. Plaster is something I really like using, it is the time consuming mould making that can be a bit time consuming and laborious though. Having purchased a bag of plaster from a local company I intend to really experiment with it over the summer break, just to see what I can do with it. I seem to be drawn to the sharp edges you can get and the stark whiteness of it but I want to try using it for removing surface texture. It can be messy so I shall need to plan the process of where and how to do it without upsetting anyone; It isn't a worry at college but my kitchen would not look brilliant with a cloud of plaster everywhere; flour, yes ( those were the days when I found the time to bake ) but not plaster.

DROPPED A PIECE OF WOOD ON MY FOOT! Not good! I think my toe is broken and the pain was excruciating ( racked my brain for a better descriptive word but can't think of one ) it was so bad I felt sick. My footwear didn't help...slippers! Richard would have gone mad!
The lawn and decking is now covered in a fine layer of plaster dust and the ridges in the lengths of decking I found are difficult even with a hosepipe to clean. Not good, but at least my plaster slabs are pristine except for a couple of chips which are annoying but the journey to college next Tuesday is still a worry. I shall have to wrap them in something.
MY TOE IS A WORRY. PURPLE, RED, BLACK already and soooooo painful. I have sent a picture of it to Kathryn who I was supposed to be going for a day out to the Sculpture Park with, bloody typical. Leanne, my buddy from college who left the course is also supposed to be meeting up with me at some point this week... Just great!
I need to coat them [plinths not toes] with a sealant so they don't start looking grubby but I have never used one before so there is a tester in the garage drying for my perusal tomorrow.
