Today I experimented with distress ink on paper, and then pasted the results on to a canvas on which I had previously experimented with something else. I can’t remember what. Or why. Like a mad scientist. Although they probably keep better notes.
So, distress ink is not at all distressing unless you expect it to dry on a surface where it can’t sink in. It’s great to splat on and blow around with a hair dryer. Don’t worry, I saw that on YouTube so it’s not a new kind of crazy. And I was originally going for subtle, but maybe it’s just not in my nature.
It’s a beautiful holiday Monday here, sunny and warm and breezy. I am loving my quiet house and my artistic messes. Some days it takes me longer to clean up after making something than it does to put it together in the first place. This will be one of those days where I put off the inevitable until later, because sunshine. Yay!
I have a sudden urge to fill the bird feeder.
And to think you wondered would retirement be fulfilling? 😉
