Saturday October 14: Catch up on writing this blog in the early morning and then an all-day Sacred and Profane choir practice for me. We've heard that friends Steve and Justine Ashton have also lost their home to the fire, so I sing with our four friends in mind.
I arrive home to two newly hatched leaves – we tie in all five and admire.

After a much needed snooze, I make a top for the corn where the neon ”silk” will come out. I have a glass version of the top, but it would be better matched by a tan colour and I don’t have time to paint again. So I use the diamond saw to cut up a small vessel I’d made as a sample for a cremation urn. This serves as a structure which I cover with magic sculpt. It looks plain, so I add some odd tiny kernels and affix the tip to round 17. I'll paint it tomorrow.
Katey and Craig don’t show up, so Barry and I meet Jessica and Bruce at Paulista (a new restaurant in the ‘hood) for a quick meal and then back to the studio to look at lighting the grapes which I’ve got to work on tomorrow…. I pile into bed while Barry watches late-night tv in the company of the partially decapitated corn and its shiny new leaves... Tomorrow we'll bend them. Fingers crossed.
