What a Difference a Day Makes.

Sunday, this piece began. As you can see in the above photograph I have used freezer paper in the making of the nude. I actually had to go out and buy a new box. Reynolds Freezer Paper, 18" wide. Last time I bought it they sold me 150 yards in the box, this time? 75. The last box stuck to the cloth better and had a different texture. I called them and told them of my woes.
They are going to send me a pre-paid envelope, so that I can prove to them that they changed some component of my old favorite love and sold me half as much of an imposter. They said they would also send me a coupon for a free box.
Has anyone else had this problem? I love(d) freezer paper.
JJ did some slueth work and a local butcher can get a huge roll of "freezer paper" for next to nothing. But he said there was wax on one side... does he mean wax? Does the paper have a residual old-e time-e hanger on "wax coating"? They used to wax it and now they coat it in plastic, but still call it waxed?
Just as an aside? I had this same sort of conversation with the nice young man at Kinkos about what makes a lazer copy. I didn't know that all of thier copiers were lazer copiers and was using the color copier as a lazer copy. I was wasting 81 cents a copy!
Do you remember when the key board had a cent symbol?
Boy am I rambling today. I can because this is the first time I have felt like myself in quite a few days, if not weeks.

So at the moment, this is what the man looks like.
I have been calling him variations of names, ones I don't want bringing traffic to my blog. So I can't write about what I have been calling him. Perhaps it would be fun to figure out how to write it and foil the crawlers.
I have an organza overlay in the washer right now. I had done something that needed to get washed out. Luckily, it came out. Now I just have to re-soda soak it and see if I like it.

And for those who would like to see how well my finger is healing? I did it on the 17th of August, pretty good, huh?

Your finger is looking much better! I am calling your new piece the androgynus one.
