Yesterday was, and I hate to admit this, a NO-ART-DONE-DAY. It was a clean up, do exercises, run (okay, limp or waddle---pick one!) about the house like the madwoman I am, trying to get some semblance of minor order back to the pit. I hate days like that..hate 'em. Yes I do!
I was in the studio for such a short time that it only annoyed me grossly. It's all or nothing baby! (can you guess that I consider yesterday nothing???) The above piece is in progress, and one of those oddities that someone will love or hate. I always enjoyed playing with the little chalky valentine candies that had sayings on them, though they left much to be desired in taste and usually were discovered months later semi-melted and covered with a layer of well stuck dust. But, they are such a tradition, I thought I would give this a whirl.
Not my colors, not my style, not not not.....still, a little shading, a little varnish, a bit of sparkle. Maybe. I don't know.
These were the backgrounds I worked on, with papers cut, then coats of medium atop the backgrounds so that they would accept paint or whatever I decide to throw at them and not disintigrate. They are a single ply of a napkin, so the paper has to be handled very gently. No poking my fingers into these to see if they are dry---I wait.
And for your amusement....
Why, pray tell, would I be excited over this gem? Other than the fact that I am really odd?
When I received my pre-op instructions, I was told I would have to do daily injections, which I had never done, but I've sewn through my fingers a lot and I figured that counted towards *self shots*. I received this in the mail, with instructions (DVD) of precisely how to do the injections and of course I was supposed to RETURN this cannister with the used sharps enclosed. (ooops. forgot.)
Oh, no waaaaaaay! This is far to good a paint brush or pencil holder! When else in my life am I going to get my paws on a BIOHAZARD container???? A real for sure medical grade BIOHAZARD container!!! I yanked the top off---after considerable bad languange and effort, and it is my prize of this whole bizarre adventure I have had of late.
Hey, when the BIOHAZARD container is the highlight of your day......think about this.......
I'm back to the *custodial care* issue from a post a few days ago. I am beginning to wonder. So what you have read here, is brain dribble of the worst sort. Disjointed, grumpy, complaining.
But it has a cool brush holder!
If you can top this, please comment! Or tell me to shut up and go away until I am mentally in better condition to post.
Otherwise, from my warped little heart, I bid you.....
Pax.
P.S. The "Java Love" is now available on a lovely coffee mug, in two sizes, from my little Zazzle store. I did the image as a half fold card, and a poster. It is a kicking coffee mug!
