In honor of Labor Day, I’m having my first ‘Give Away’! Here’s the prize: A necklace from our new (Rorschach) Inkblot series [What do YOU see?]. Here are the rules: “Like” us on our Clayton Hill Studio facebook page (link at your right), if you haven’t already … Make a comment (on our facebook page) …
DH and I are making baby steps towards bringing the new studio computer on-line, so that we can lay to rest the seriously ill, old computer. Umm, the new one has Windows 8.1. I feel like a geriatric patient …“I don’t DO computers … or VCR’s … or digital watches.” We WILL figure this …
To the coolest tool ever! And such a small investment. After struggling for years, look at what I can do … Such small holes! It’s called a Dremel Work Station, and mine cost about $40 (I love Amazon!). So, I’ve been working on necklaces and cabs. Lots of them! Now to take …
WWU: ‘Twilight Zone’ Moon + Busy ER = Bizarre Patients. What did you do during last night’s (86th) Super Moon? Did you gaze upon it’s beauty and splendor? Not me … I ran my butt off … I argued with educated a parent for several hours to convince inpatient admission was the best (and only) …
in bits and spurts. I am having too much fun! But, to be fair – I did work a 24 hour nursing tour, played with puppies, marinated in the pool, paid bills, touched base with my 22 year old birthday girl, and got a nap or two … Now that I’ve shared …
Yep – I have that song stuck in my head! Guess who’s anniversary present came early??? Uh-huh! This girl! Look at what I made … on my first night! “Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof!” Gotta go … got stuff to burn! I am one lucky bug! Thanks Honey!
Or the Mad Hatter … or just plain crazy. Whatever … The experiments continue! I do love the day of the internet! Much to the annoyance of DH (… and my accountant … and my bank account …). Sooo much to learn! I have [quite] a few different experimental pots brewing on the (bunsen) burners: …
As I’ve been playing with glass enamels lately – and seeing how they work with oils vs. water mediums – I had the ‘opportunity’ to work with lavender and clove oil. They sound pleasant, don’t they? Or at least harmless and aromatic. Ummm … NOT! That clove oil stunk. It stunk BAD. Like air-out-the-studio-for-2-days-and-I-could-still-smell-it BAD! …
So, I have a little of this and a little of that to report on: The twins will be heading off to camp shortly. So, DH and I will be ‘empty nesters’. Sort-of … but not. Our four-legged family has grown. Blondie had her babies (in under 19 hours!) and I took a quick shot …
Darn you Creative Paradise! But, my mind was elsewhere, so I followed the firing schedule (even though, through previous experience NO LESS, I know better!) and messed up my project – and mold. Aaargghhh! To top it off – my next move was to mess up my ‘lil palette knife beach scene. Gone is the …
