Primate Muse Tuesday PRIMAL PLAYTIME

Primate Muse

PLAY

As a noun, a play can be

a dramatic work,

a child's activity, or the start of an athletic match.  I'm using the fourth set of definitions from the Oxford American Dictionary.

1.

CHANGES 

Re-imagine

THE EYES

Then taking

A FEW STITCHES

on the storyboard;
Much, much more to come. 

The space in or through which a mechanism can or does move: "The steering rack was loose, and there was a little play."

2.

DYEING  

COTTON SHEETING

Two thin layers

Filled with

COPPER, RUST, and MOLDY GOOP

made of all the gleanings of last Fall

BUNDLE WRAPPED,TIED

and

SUBMERGED

mostly walnut, leaf and twig dye bath

Now-the waiting

Figurative scope or freedom to act or operate: "Our policy allows the market to have freer play."

 3.

CHOOSING 

Threads for

Spring tulip garden

on the pillow cover

Light and constantly changing movement:

"the artist exploits the play of light

across the surface."

4.

COSTUME

Cotton skirt, and heavy muslin shirt with hand embroidery:

needs to be painted, dyed and patched to cover stains

from twenty years of living through several generations.
I'll work on this in April. 

 5.

EMBELLISHMENT

Tea and cumin dyed - Drawn on Habatai Silk, with

central vein stitched on one leaf.

More to come on this piece.

 6.

REWARD

Angel-food cake with shredded bitter-chocolate

and whipped cream too

ENTERTAINMENT

"The Clairvoyant"
A fake music-hall clairvoyant meets a woman, and suddenly his predictions seem to come true!! Claude Rains and Fay Wray

Tomorrow is another day
I'll be going away for two weeks
