first southern california glove!

i am holed up at home feeling very under the weather. that says a great deal, considering the weather today has been excessively gloomy. i just got back from getting antibiotics (i went to the urgent care center with mom earlier to see a doctor). i feel a whole lot better now. yay, mucinex!!

oh yea, and i sent my laptop to be repaired because the hinge has started break. thus, i will be writing this blog entry from the family desktop. hope it works out alright.

now, on to the glove! this one glove gets extra special attention because 1. it happens to be the very first lonesome glove found in southern california, and 2. tony found it, not me. as you know, i do not like to take glove donations. however, i decided to accept this glove gift because tony gets really grossed out by my dirty glove obsession and it must have been very difficult for him to overcome his anxieties to pick this glove up. he also took a picture of it in the natural habitat. bonus!

the glove in question was found on the night of may 15 near the junction of avenue I and elena avenue in riviera village. it sat in tony's trunk until approximately 1 a.m. whereby it transferred into my possession. after wrapping it in paper towels, i transported it home and put it in the wash. the italian black leather glove with cashmere lining did not dry completely in the dryer, and had to sit out for several extra hours. the glove, unwilling to be rehabilitated without a fight, left a permanent stain on the porcelain in the dryer. (note the hand-shaped stain) also, during the course of sewing the glove, i broke two needles. clearly, this glove did not want to be tamed!

i decided this glove reminded me of a raven, so i made it into a bird with a toucan-type beak and big, yellow, vacant eyes. eyes you can get lost in. get lost in and forget your troubles.. yes....

what an exotic Berd!

springtime glove

this past weekend tony and i drove up to davis for the whole earth festival. it was so fantastically fun!! friday was spent mostly at the festival on campus. so many hippies, happy people, beautiful art, ceramics, clothing, and jewelry. just before settling down for some reggae-ish music, we took a quick spin on our bikes around campus and i found a glove right by the sci lab building. after the music, we did my favorite half of the bike loop. i love mini vacations, and now i feel like i need to get back to work. unfortunately, i have no job... so getting back to work won't be happening. thankfully, my info meeting for pepperdine's masters of education is tonight so hopefully i'll be back in the swing of academics before i can blink an eye!

for this glove, i decided to form it into the vulcan salute. complete with slanty eyebrows, i think it makes a decent vulcan glove. too bad it doesn't have the rad haircut...

Vulcotron!
