Pysanky and other catch-ups
So then Sunday I couldn't believe I was doing it but I dragged myself out of bed and went to Whole Foods and bought eggs for doing pysanky with the coven in the afternoon. (I had made up the dyes on Friday and otherwise prepared.) I went inworld to my usual Renaissance Island staff meeting inworld and then got tied up in a managers meeting but still managed to have everything set out and ready to go when the coven started arriving. Russell and Linnea and I had all done pysanky before but it was Chris's first introduction. I *love* teaching this art to new folks. He had great ideas and did wonderfully. We all made cool eggs.
I had a good time and I did a couple of fun eggs. But I broke the one I really liked (see pix) trying to blow it. And the other one is way intricate and was supposed to be of grapes but I left out some crucial lines since I just wasn't reading the chart correctly and it doesn't hang together properly.
We decided, chatting over eggs, to take a hiatus until fall since all of our lives are too crazy right now to give the coven the focus it deserves. That is a relief. I really need to be focusing on my headwash to Pomba in June and this frees me up a bit to do that. And it means the coven didn't just fall apart. Yay.
It is funny how once you know about something it keeps turning up. Chris called me yesterday and said a lady had come into the grocery where he works and asked about duck eggs. She is getting them to do pysanky and since Draeger's was going to do the search anyway did I want some? He thought it was cool that he had done his first pysanky and then run into someone else doing the same thing. And duck eggs! How cool is that! I hope we get some. I'll try to do the grapes egg over now that I (hopefully) understand what the chart was saying.
Monday night I didn't dance since every time I moved I coughed. We have a gig a week for Friday so this is a very frustrating thing. I am listening to Kashlimar on repeat to try and get it into my bones since I am supposed to solo to it. I want to be well real soon now.
Tuesday the Blessed Tina came over and did massages. My body is so out of alignment from spending the last month as a slug-a-bed. She says she can do regular third Tuesdays so we are back to having regularly monthly massages. Yay!!!
