Nothing went right today
I t all started this morning when Jewson decided to charge me £62 for some wood for my stretcher frames. I was half asleep and didn't realise until a bit later that this was daylight robbery. I had to go back and get a refund. The real price was £26.
When I got into uni 1 and a half hours later than planned I was informed that I couldn't use the woodwork workshop as the Art level zero group were having workshops all day.
I decided to fall back onto plan B which was bolting the panels together on my larger painting. But I had bought the wrong sized brackets.
I then discovered that the work on the wall of my studio space was still wet. I have nowhere else to put it and need to put the larger paintings up so I can paint onto them.
I then spent about 2 hours trying to find the woman who can sign over the stepladders to me so I could make the walls more stable. Ridiculous, surely the stepladders should always be available. Anyway I couldn't find her in the end and used chairs, tables and window sills instead.
Hopefully I should be able to get some new bolts and brackets tomorrow and join the panels together. I am hoping to do a long day and get the painting up on the wall so that I can paint it tomorrow night.
So it wasn't that great a day but it was all forgotten when Liverpool beat Arsenal in the Champions League making everything seem good.
