Worked on pg from "Wreck" using office supplies. Too cute! Used matt gel as an adhesive. Thought it would never dry! It didn't turn out to be as thick as i thought it would be. Maybe i need to go over it again but it seems stable enough.Sunday, May 22, 2011

I went over to 500 and worked on cards during craft time. I used that Beauty pallet and then srayed with the oil pastel fixative.
I took Pkt Doodle along as well and had a time! (The marker went thru the pg)
I really need to go over more often. The girls seems to really care that i miss but i need something more susantial to do. I'm going to try to get someone to bring me my crochet stuff from storage. That should keep me plenty busy while over there!
I also worked on my "Doorway". I don't know why i can't stay up there long. I only have the flowers left to do and the color on the rt pot.

I got the canvases i ordered frm Amazon.com They are so adorable! I had ordered 6x6 inches but the size just never registered with me until i saw them.
Went thru my Wreck This Journal and marked some pgs to work on. Fun days coming! I also worked in my Pocket Doodles. I think my block may have lifted! I still have work to do but.... PROGRESS!

I did a test strip of that pallet I bought at the hospital gift shop. I think it will work OK for shimmery things once sprayed with the oil pastel fixative. Dumped all my old ceramic paints and some of the "dot" paint.

14 May 2011
I went to a Ladies Tea over in the 500 Dinning rm. The tables were decorated with a ladies high heal on a mirror. Hearts and star "confetti" was thrown on the mirror and pearls were draped over and through the open toe and held down with a lace glove. Such a simple thing but it would have never occured to me!

I bought myself this little "Pocket Doodles" bk at C'mas time. Please, tell me. Why is it that everytime i pick it up i get so stressed? OMG!!
One pg - "decorate these pumpkins", I'm not sure if this is the 3rd or 4th day I've worked on it. Did i mention that the bk is 4x6 inches? I pray that by the time i finish the bk i will have gained some confidence & I've learned everythng doesn't have to be "perfect" (PLEASE let me finish the book!)

I scanned all of my ARTS 101 sketch book drawings and uploaded them to my flickr acct. There are a lot of pieces i would like to rework or incorporate into something else. I'm still trying to figure out how or what to do with them.
I also have to figure out what is up with my PS2. I sooo want to play around with the digital versions of some of my pieces.

I really like this pallet knife art I found. They do some amazingly small works. Need $$ to buy canvases.
Picked up some "found" bits to sketch something from tomorrow.

I took these pics of dew covered plants near the bus stop. Shame on me! An old Master Gardener like me and i can't remember the name of the plants!
I have now added a small moleskin sketch book to my purse. I'm sure there is something i can draw while on the bus if only just to doodle. I am the only person i know that doesn't doodle!What does that mean? Is that a good or bad thing? I think it means that my mind isn't restless and enjoys either the break of nothingness or i enjoy the adventure of what i see out the windows!
Maybe i have enough "dew drop" pics in my gallery now to do a series of drawings called "Dew Drops"

Sorry to say i didn't do anything artistic except turn the smiley face in my 365 Journal into a doodle face. I know, SCAREY!
Spent most of the AM on the city bus trying to figure it all out. Then slept thru the afternoon because i was EXHAUSTED! I am so "old".
