Tip: don't try to do Spiderman lunges (I have to go a lot lower than that!) with a boisterous dog in the room. Just don't. It apparently looks like you're trying to play. Ouch.

This is the post I meant to write yesterday, but didn't get around to it after getting distracted by the muscle stuff. :) Supper and other domestic drudgery beckoned.

I decided to jump straight into the deep end with the latest art project I'm planning: some memorial quilting.

( The project, and a little background )

So, this particular project is giving me a push to finally work with a traditional art form I'd been wanting to try anyway. More on its longer-term appeal--and symbolism--later.

* In Lois Sherr Dubin's North American Indian Jewelry and Adornment, which also repeatedly touches upon adornment as "an important level of...communication, conveying many levels of information" (p.11 in the 2003 concise edition I've got). There's a lot of gorgeous work in there. The author does a pretty good job of respectfully describing some cultural contexts, with lots of quotes from artists.
