the thing about experiments is that some don't work. However, the other thing about experiments is that they open new avenues of research, if messing about with art materials is research, which sometimes it is. In this case, freezer paper does, in fact, stabilize leaves and fabric for leaf rubbings, however the paint stick kind of melts when the organza is ironed to the circle.
In a huge win of discretion over valor, Bob and I both dismounted voluntarily and gracefully and lunged both deranged and tightly wound horses. I think there were several problems in play. The worst was the utility company workers in the woods under the power lines just out of sight but within hearing. That wasn't so bad until they fired up not one but two chainsaws and things started falling randomly in the woods. Ruby left on Sunday, and she is the one who instigates things, so they'd been lazy for a couple days. The combination meant they both were looped. Eventually they settled enough to pay attention, and then we stopped on a good note. PLUS!! no one fell off, no one got hurt. Discretion, valor: we won that one.
And another plus - the rain didn't start until we'd gotten off and untacked.
