2 Weeks of no kids=ART

     My children were BOTH far far away for 2 weeks. Aside from eating nothing but cereal I got a lot of artwork done! Having more than five minutes at a time to work on my projects was wonderful and I was able to concentrate on tiny details a lot more. Here are a few of the pieces that sprang from my alone time...

     I am however VERY happy that my kids have come home tonite. 2 weeks was too much for me even though I was excited about the thought of being alone for so long. I wonder how long it will take me to adjust back to getting up at 7am instead of 1 in the afternoon? hrmmmm......

WORD TO THE NOT SO WISE

     I have also discovered (like I do every year) that this is the time to STOP trying to spray clearcoat on my projects. 'sigh' the humidity does AWEFUL things to the finish and I have ruined yet another project by thinking "It'll work this one last time...it's not THAT humid". 2 weeks of painting one statue...and one coat of humidity-infused clearcoat = a sloppy looking, drippy figure coated in a. uneven layer of bubbles and fog. :( Don't do it kids. Set those projects away for a DRY day. 

     ALSO, remember to put the color caps back on your spray paint cans....so you don't accidently coat your project with white primer instead of clear varnish. Yep...I did that too. :)
