A productive afternoon and evening

[frualeydis]

I came home around half past three and was met by the sight of a half naked, partly black man. Our new (laser) printer and a scanner (we didn't have one before) had arrived and somewhere in the process of disposing of the old one my husband managed to open the container with ink/coal and sprayed himself and the computer room with lots of black dust. It is very clean now.
While he was busy cleaning I started on dinner. Since myralea is vegetarian I decided to make lasagne with lentils in tomato sauce. It turned out very yummy. Then we started modelling the templates for the ornaments for the cuffs on Rickard's tunicella from some kind of plastic clay. After hardening them we sanded them. A lot. One of them isn't finished yet. I will then, when I'm happy with them make a silicone mold so I can make them from pewter. They will then be "bronzed" before epoxy glue with colour pigments in it will be used to fill the holes and create an impression of enamel.
I have sanded my fingers a little to much and I'm very tired. But also very happy and grateful to myralea for her help.
I have also felled all the seams on the body of the Herjolfsnes dress and will start on the sleeves tomorrow.

Eva, this made me laugh out loud. I'm happy that you had such a good time and I hope that you're pleased that I enjoyed it too. I also hope that Rcikard's fingers aren't too bronzed to appreciate the lasagne.

Love from Billy O.

dearest,

i forgot to mention yesterday:
please promise to use gloves when you handle the silicon moulding rubber. the red harderner is so very NOT healthy. and preferably be outdoors, or at least keep everything under the kitchen fan!

my thanks for a lovely and pleasant evening. i had great fun as usual :)

I will. Good you told me. It will take a couple of days because I haven't sanded the tempalte enough and I want my fingers to heal a little first. Also, we don't have any plaster at home.

lol. you should have took a picture of Rickard he sounds funny looking. What a mess that must have been!

& it sounds like alot of work you're doing on the ornaments there. I hope you post a pic of them when they're done. You're so good at being crafty. I'm impressed.
