I kicked my workspace in the teeth...

[merimask]

Oh boy, was my workspace ever a mess!  I was using craft paper to cover my desk, and it would get all ripped up and ugly in a hurry.  Plus, clutter everwhere.

So!  I re-papered the desk and then used a peel & stick plastic to seal the paper, which is so much smarter than what I used to do.   See?

Better.  You can see the masks I'm working on, there.  Anyway I finished those this morning.  Remember my "Harlequin Romance" masks from last year?  They're back for Valentine's Day. 


Plus (and I just came up with this idea last night), I decided to do a Harlequin cat...neat eh?

Meow.  I don't do many cat masks anymore.  I used to do a LOT of cats but I guess I burned out.  Now I only do the Egyptian Bast mask and the Venetian cat, and those only once in a while.  Hmm.

Anyway the romance is all for sale in Etsy right now.   Heh!  Romance.  For sale.
 
Greg and Charlotte are funny.  One of the Christmas gifts we got from family far away; a ceramic notice board.  You write on it with a special marker...you can wipe the board clean for new messages.  I put it next to the fridge, so they could write a list there of things we might need (I do the grocery shopping & I never know when they might want something special.

Instead, they are using it for utilitarian haiku.  Greg writes:
 
Bills, when I pay them
It's like winning a game show
about being mugged

Char's response beneath:

It seems bittersweet,
this sense of satisfaction
from winning...but not.

I am living with clowns and machiavellian housepets.

Liquitex? Really? I have those! Perhaps I should try to make something simple just to make you laugh.

I need to kick my sewing room's butt. All it really needs is a few evenings of quality time. Well, that and somewhere to put the large pieces of random furniture that have been stuffed in there.

Liquitex is my favorite discovery of the last few years. You might notice how bright all my colors got a few years ago. That was the Liquitex. It's perfect for leather; I used to buy Cova Colors from Tandy and they were so small and expensive. Now I use Liquitex for everything except black (for some reason, Cova still is my favorite black).

It's good to clean up your work area once in a while. Creating in clutter is no fun at all.
