This is my stockpile of weight watchers little one point cakes. I've apparently been stashing these in the cabinet while I eat full fat ice cream, "real" cake, and other stuff!
Am I a lost cause? I just need to lose 20 lbs. That should be cake. . .at least by the looks of it! Hahaha.
Maybe this will inspire me? To eat like 20 at a clip! Haha
Dental issues are certainly in my future!
So in keeping with my less waste in my art endeavors, I've started to think in "sets" or multiples. Often, I'd find myself prepping one canvas for the following evening (often mixing too much paint); AND especially on weekends, I'd find myself frustrated waiting for prepped canvases to dry.
So now I'm trying to think ahead for multiple projects or for several future projects. I would like to keep doing originals all the time but truth is, some of the items I've made multiple times as gifts have been very well received and I could prob make a few at a clip.
I'm not considering mass production nor am I looking to make only little owls or elephants but I feel confident that I could almost always find a willing recipient of these items.
I'm also thinking more about the sharing, marketing and sale of my work via this Blog, Etsy, and/or local venues and I certainly would like to have a few pieces handy to share and sell. Seems I'm always giving them away - and often forgetting to take pics first for my portfolio!
Not sure if it's exhaustion or complete insanity setting in but the idea of offering items for sale seems way less intimidating to me at this moment.
One of the threaded bars that make up the handle is apparently stripped so I had to remove it. Now the handle is considerably shorter.
The back tweaking is also expotentially worse!
Somebody remind me to buy a new mop this weekend wouldcha?!
If I went sans glass, I needed the glue top coat. If I used glass, I could do without top coats.
I wish this was the most difficult of all my daily decisions.
Anyway, obviously I opted for glue just in case someone doesn't love the frame as much as I do.
Plus the top coats give added protection and help ensure the paper stays put longer.
Got an idea to do a really runny white wash over one sometime soon. Maybe a purple gray background with a big old grackle siloutte topped with an eerie whitewash.
I'm really into extremes right now. I do something cheery like this and at the same time, I'm working on or concocting a piece that is a bit dark.
I guess maybe there is some truth to the duplicity of geminis?
I wonder what would happen if I could combine the two? In the same work as a mirror image or in a pair of canvases as mirror images?
Hmmmmmm. . .This is exactly why sometimes I get very little sleep! I should sketch it out before I lose the ideas!
