New York, and other things

[ellid]

First and foremost, the revised and illustrated version of the Impruneta paper was e-mailed to my editors last week. The illustrations (most by helwen) were pronounced "fantastic," and now it's a matter of waiting for reaction, suggested edits, and then the part that I really, really hate, proofing the galleys. Tentative publication date is about a year from now, and yes, I will definitely keep everyone posted :)

Second, am sleeping better. Go, me.

Third, a project I've been working on for a couple of weeks was submitted tonight. No details until I hear back on this.

Fourth, mizpagan and I are going to New York on Wednesday to view a truly special object: a 13th century piece of Chinese silk patchwork at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I'm slightly giddy at the thought of actually being allowed to examine such an old piece. No idea if they'll let me take pictures, but man, this is going to be fun!




And so it goes....

Are you going to the Ratti Textile Center? If so, they will let you take pics. You won't be able to touch the pieces, but they will handle them for you. Also, bring a hair scrunchy or something to tie your hair back, otherwise they give you a rubberband and it rips your hair out.

We were just there last week looking at a bunch of things (not on display). It's wicked cool and awesome and YAY!

Have a great time!

That's the place. I'll have my hair braided or tied back regardless because it gets in my face otherwise :)

Can't wait!
