I am a freaking one-woman mask-making machine. The carving callous on my right hand is enormous. Acrylic paint is found speckled in my hair. I have blue dye under all my fingernails on my left hand (a little spillage accident). All my working clothes & jeans are spattered with rainbow stains. I'm a colorful mess.
So here's what I did last night...

A new Koi Mask. I did the same background as the one for the bettas, & I like it so much better than basic black. I guess I used the black before, because I wanted it to look like a black laquered inlaid Japanese folding screen. Well...screw that. I need color right now.

Some three-colored koi...the luckiest kind, if you're into that kind of magical thinking. I've stopped bothering with the Japanese name/classification for the different koi types because, frankly, no one seems to give a crap. I think these are aka sanke. *shrug*
& hey...wonder of wonders! I discovered the secret to getting my husband to take me out. I have to PAY. Yeah...dinner was very nice.
See? I'm a smart monkey...eventually I manage to figure it all out. Box on chair equals banana. In this case, wife with cash equals dinner for two.
