Last night I received a phone call from someone working on an upcoming dramatic production who needs several identical items, (a “key prop”) embroidered. She couldn’t say what it was for – she could be immediately dismissed from her post – but I have an idea or two.
I don’t usually do commissions, but there were two words she mentioned (a name actually) in connection with the production, that made me immediately think, “oh, wow!”
It was the sort of thing that makes me feel terribly torn: I have a book (that I’m loving doing) to write, yet I’d love to be involved in this mysterious project. So I put my thinking cap on, and emailed my sister (Prue Scott, my co-author on Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature) and asked her if she’d like to do it with me, thereby reducing the amount of work I’d need to do personally.
Just a few minutes later the phone rang. “That’ll be Prue,” I said to myself as I went to answer it.
“Yes, in capital letters,” was her greeting.
And so we will. I expect in time I’ll learn more, and be able to share it with you closer to the time where the production is released to the public.
Very mysterious… 🙂
