Coming Together

Today has been quite a lot like yesterday. When I got into work this morning, I got my sewing machine plugged in and was straight down to work, finishing the front curtain for the Big Top in one of the classes. We had found some purple fabric in one of the back cupboards, so I added different coloured panels to the edge of that, which ended up bringing the whole thing together. It was really nice to see the reaction from the teacher and teaching assistants when I put together the final touches to the tent. Like me, I don't think they expected it to look as good as it does. After my work was done there, I went on to finish the second wall hanging, make bags for another class, and secure the images on yesterday's t-shirt prints with an iron.

The 2 of Cups is another nice card, although a little sombre in The Morgan Greer. Even though it is a card of first meetings, partnerships and emotional harmony, neither of the two in this card look particularly pleased to meet with each other. I often see this as a card of friendship, which does have it's place in today, since I spoke with a good friend on the phone who was feeling pretty down. However, I think that the sharing of glasses leans more towards a conversation with one of my colleagues on the way home from school this afternoon. When the work that I am currently doing dries up, she said that some of the agents from the organisation have suggested putting together their own group. They would like their own bank of artists and would promote them in a similar fashion to the agency I work for now; just at a lower cost to the schools. This would not affect the rate of pay for the artist though, who would still earn a decent fee. She said that she would very much like to have me on board and I offered my graphics services to her in the starting up of the business. I feel that any loyalty and generosity I put in now may very well serve me in the future and show how interested I am in working with the group. I see the 2 of Cups as being about coming together. In this case, it is the acknowledgement of a partnership and unspoken agreement between this colleague (or friend, to describe her properly) and I.
