Test

Back to PA

Its taking a long time - thanks in part to the aspiring Sanford n Son ahead of us. I have visual confirmation that is a top loading washing machine and several car seats (not the kind for the 7 and under crowd)!

Happy Early Birthday to Me!

Yeah!!! A brand new grown up camera with so many bells and whistles I don't even know where to begin! C got it for a steal because the camera shop was going out of business. That disappoints me as I think we as a society no longer value enough small business owners. I wonder if this camera could make me a small business owner or be a tool to help others. I have a big learning curve and look forward to it.

Binky's Booties

These are not working out so well. Next move? THE COLLAR!!!!

Bootie and the Beast

We are trying to combat Molly's lick granuloma with a rubber bootie. She is combating us by continually removing it!

Indecision

The finished characters wait for me to figure out how to finish them. I'm using Bertrum bunny as the guinea pig and have coated him with a coat of elmers glue diluted with water. I don't think I have the glus to ratio mix right - the paper seems to be crinkling with moisture

Bertrum the Bunny

Bertrum was my favorite childhood stuffed toy. Maybe this art inspired by him will be a hit with my friend's children too. It's not quite finished and I have used about 24 ounces of acetone trying to un-gum my fingers!

Project III

Maxwell the Monkey. Decided to do one more - a frog or a bunny. Fingers are soooo sticky with adhesive spray I'll need to bathe in acetone! Also need to figure out how or what to clear coat them with? Modpodge or some type of varnish? Don't want to screw them up on the final step! Maybe need to set up an experiment with another canvas to test out my options.

Project Part II

I think the third and final one will be a monkey.

Allister is cranky!

I won't allow him on his usual perches because I have my project spread out all over the place. Sorry little buddy!

Nighty Night

From the Doodle bug who implores you to sleep well and have a great day tomorrow. Allister and C are practically spooning in the spare room!

Weekend Project

Have a friend who is expecting. Making a little party for her soon. Trying out a mixed media project for nursery wall art (also purchased her something just to be safe!). So far so good. I need mod podge!!
