OT I think my eyeballs are falling out

Or I at least need to take them out, wrap them in cotton wool and soak them in tepid tea.

Next time I agree to do pay work remind me that I need to specify CLEAR copy, detailed diagrams, and if somebody wants translations of any kind whatsoever they had best provide them for me. I am silk painting six and nine foot magic circles, and the provided copies are from old grimoires and notes from one Samuel Liddel "MacGregor" Mathers, whose handwriting is almost as bad as his published works. Those old magicians had handwriting as bad as most doctor's, and they couldn't draw for beans. On top of that, since somebody requested one in hebrew, I have to figure that out too. Fortunately DH is fluent in ceremonial magician hebrew, and most of the words are pretty simple, Except for the ones in latin, you just cannot spell tetragramaton in hebrew! The client is a bit of a ditz, so I cannot trust her translations. I would end up having to do it over. Once right is better.

I'm having trouble imagining the entire process, but sympathy's headed your way! Roberta in D, so glad I no longer have to do anything for money

Nightmist, I am fascinated. What exactly are you working on? What will it be and how will it look? Will there be photos? (I really hope so) Final question: where does one go to learn to be fluent in ceremonial magician hebrew?

A lot like this:

I am painting very very similar circles with accompanying stuff onto 6 and 9 foot squares of silk. Heat set paint all the way! I am so not going to try and mess with steaming these things. I find I am also going to do this on heavy cotton as well. I think I am going to be making me some stencils...

She will be selling them in her online shop, so I imagine there will be pictures.

DH studies old languages on his own, mostly because that is the only way of learning them short of traveling from school to school around the world.. He started hebrew from standard texts. Ceremonial magicians sometimes use it a little oddly, it is more a matter of practice and knowing what it is likely they are talking about or at least the general direction of it. When he was just starting out with hebrew he had me make him a set of aleph-beth-gimel blocks. It was nifty, I did them just like little kids blocks, with the letter and the picture of the literal meaning of the name of the letter (aleph- ox, beth-house, gimel-camel etc.). I had fun with that, doing about every single needlework technique I know. Some of them were stiff from plastic needlepoint canvas, some of them were squishy soft sculpture, and all kinds of in between.

I think I will mash cucumbers over my eyes, an avacado into my hair, smear goatsmilk and honey on my face, and soak in a bubble bath for half an hour. If that doesn't de-tension me at least I will feel very edible.

NightMist needs to get out and weed too...

I am extending sympathies, and sending a bit of stamina your way! Sounds like you need it!
