Daily Notes- January 18

                                       

Today's collage prompt.:  something you own that you couldn't do without made into collage.

First the collage- and then the real thing.  This is a scarf (?) long piece of discharged cloth that had different treatments done to it (thin lines of gold paint) before I got it in a donated bag of scraps.  I liked it for some reason and discovered it's very versatile.  Right now it is over my shoulders, up around my neck, keeping me warm. At the beach it wraps around my hips like a long skirt.  I can tie it over my chest and it covers me from chest to just below the knees-- great for getting out of the shower. It is useful as a winter scarf.  It can be used to carry things.  Practical if I ever break my arm.  I have no idea what it's made of- but since it is warm to the touch- I think a natural fiber.

                                                 

The real thing draped over a chair.  Discharged with bleach I assume.  Gold paint.  White dots (I added them).  If you see me- this cloth is nearby.  I packed it for every trip we used to take. It's not pretty- if fact it's pretty strange looking.  But I would be lost without it.

G and I finished shoveling snow off the apron of the driveway- big snow coming tomorrow, so they say.  And G shoveled a path to the compost bins.  I had a five gallon bucket of compost needing to get to the bin. Back porch got shoveled and we identified all the foot prints from wild life visiting  the back of the house.

We also tried a new seafood restaurant in Town.  G had baked haddock and I had crab cakes. Our waitress was helpful and we had a nice conversation with her.  Expensive but we'll return.
