All Hemmed In
As reported a month ago, I had ordered and recieved the canvas for the
portable Chalice Labyrinth I will be painting for the summer. The
canvas arrived at the start of a week’s vacation with the first few
days being at home. After taking a day of vacation to get caught up on
some other home projects, I took a day and a half unrolling each
section, cutting off the corners to make a large octagon and hemming
the exposed edges with heat-tape. I did have to redo one end when I
unrolled all three sections and found that I had three different
lengths of canvas (should have checked that first).
So now I have three 6 foot long rolls of canvas standing up in my
office/studio waiting for the next step. That step will involve a very
large floor space (probably here at the church), and a very large
compass to draw the line edges. Once I get that done I will be able to
start painting. But I will need help in order to draw the
circles. Some of the them will be over 16 feet in diameter. I hope I
don’t have to wait too long for that.
I am still trying to decide on colors. I have moved away from a strict
rainbow affect. I am moving toward using colors related to the basic
elements of earth, sky, fire and water. One source I am intrigued by
is the pictures of earth from space and what colors are present
there. I am still reflecting on that issue.
Now back to playing catch-up in my office.
