dear gary,
ooooh dear! well this IS interesting isn't it! actually, the challenge of it makes me more interested in actually accomplishing it at some point, but true, i don't really see it happening by january! thanks for your letter, i think i will forward it to my friend who is currently in nepal , so that i won't feel so guilty if i don't get it done, so he understands the difficulty, etc....
i was going crazy yesterday working on the fresco, and i told him i was tearing my hair out and he just said well isn't it good to add hair to the mixture to make it stronger....no compassion at all.... but actually today i am liking how it turned out a bit more. still, i feel pretty overwhelmed by all of the elements involved that one has to manage and it really did feel a bit like a battle.
could those temple guardians help with that? we have some serious tibetan ones here which i am friends with, but they don't do fresco demons...
