I’m still trying to repair my archives. Made a bit of a hash of it. There are so many Calls for Papers right now that fit beautifully but. I am far too scared of taking a space and having something happen yet again. Yes my tendons are settled, yes I think my petechiae seem to be stable yes I think I worked out why I was so very sick this year. But something else could happen. I mean living next to a construction zone that’s had earth works for more than two months and barely having one day off from it a week is playing a very large part.

But I accidentally wound up being super excited about an armour project I’d put on hold. I had a closer look at some details and realised I was probably able to do them after all.

Today I also found both my rolls of masking tape so I can do something like I did for my Blood Dragon armour. And that I still had a layer of tape and paper on my mannequin for a different but related project. I just need to grab some permanent markers to plot the general outline so I can use them as anchors to build up the layers that float.

Maybe I’m just so exhausted from trying to repair my research that I need a project to make. I do think that losing my costumes to the environment has also affected me. It has felt like my life has retracted to the space between my chair and computer. Because it mostly has.
