Dust

I am being haunted by dust. Nothing I do seems to stop it or even keep it at bay for just a few hours. It is just always there, lurking, waiting for me to varnish something so that it can find a permanent home on the surface of my paintings. Or better yet embed itself in my resin. This is the worst scenario due to the expense of the resin and the lengthy drying time. So far out of three resined paintings all three are having to be redone because of this - not a great track record! I have become a little obsessive about cleaning as a result, the vacuum cleaner has never felt so loved.  

In a desperate attempt to prevent this from happening I have taken to cutting up plastic dry cleaning bags and taping them together to make large dust covers that I precariously drape over my drying work. This, of course, leads to all sorts of other problems should the plastic come into contact with the varnish, but that's a story for another day! I'm sure there must be an easier way. Perhaps moving house?
