Shouldn’t really be here- late and I am knackered.
I have been thinking about my wasp nest work all day while attempting to paint a pile of moth wings. Truly hard. The wings are mostly dark and are of course incredibly thin…..even 85 of them.
I was totally unprepared for the level of difficulty and am in danger of messing up hours of previous work here.
One would hope that my brain would be focused on the job in hand. Not a bit of it – it keeps sliding off back to the wasps.
No idea how I set up the wasps – on wire or rigid plastic maybe. Not sure. I do know I don’t want to hang them. The nest has been in and out of the bell jar. The jar distorts the nest which I like but it also reduces the impact of the wasps – which is a pain.
I do have a name for the work though – Homeland Security.
That often happens, the name before the work is finished- but it makes the work easier to complete. I know what what it is now. It has a face.
