PAINTED PAPER & A COUPLE GUYS

PAINTED PAPER : Painted with a brush , gold, blue , dark red paint. Used some punchanella, to make those little circles, not a good job, but then in altered art what is a good job. There is some stamping, then I sprayed some blue paint and mushed it around a bit. These papers are done in my learning journal, as I am learning how to do this stuff.

PAINTED PAPER : Painted with an old credit card, then I use some mesh ribbon to make the cross hatch marks. I used a scrunched up ball of wax paper to make some gold splash marks. This is a page in my learning journal. Its not finished I want to do some stamping on it and then it will be ready to embellish and journal on.

PAINTED PAPER : This one was also painted with a credit card. Green, blue, and gold were the colors used. While it was still wet I used the bottom of two different sized paint bottles to make the circles. This one is not finished yet either, not sure what I want to add to it yet. Maybe stamps.

PAINTED PAPER: This is the last one I did today, it was painted with the credit card again using black and white paint. It is pretty bold so I am not sure what to do with it.

GUY # 1 : These are two guys I met yesterday while shopping at Old Time Pottery. If I had a printer I would print them out and use them as back grounds in my altered art. I thought they were pretty cool looking. They are large sun made of metal to hang on the wall. I would use them out side here in FL. I was just looking to see what new they were getting in for spring, did not buy anything.



GUY #2

WEATHER IN MELBOURNE FL: Temp 65 with sun and wind. But still a great day. Especially when looking at the rest of the country's weather.

Went to the gym today, I only went 3 days this week, I hurt something last week so I am cooling it down this week and doing my workout with less weight. I think was in too big a hurry. Today it went much better. Picked up a few things at WM what would we do with it. WM that is.

Found out why Maggie has been acting so strange, this morning after our walk, I looked at her hip and found another hot spot. I was not there yesterday. I have been after her all day to leave it alone, which being a dog, she just wants to lick it to death and that is what makes it worse. I sure wish I knew what was causing these .

Tomorrow I am taking her and going to some yard sales and do a couple geocaches. She misses her "ride in the truck". At home she was used to taking at least one ride a day. Not now.

That's it for now, thanks for looking and come back soon

Blessings

WEATHER IN MELBOURNE FL. Nice today. 70's sunny and warm.

Well I finally did it! Signed up at Planet Fitness on Friday. I have been wanting to do this for a very long time, years in fact. Back in 03 when I was in auto accident and had to go for therapy I

just continued on with the gym for about a year. Then for some stupid reason I quit. Dumb, because I never felt better as when I was going to gym. LOL , boy did I notice a big difference from before and now. Big fat belly gets in the way when on some of the machines! Any way I am committed for 1 year. Losing weight is another goal for this year. But need to get this going right now. By the way this place is really cheap ! $10 a month, back in PA where I lived it was $55 a mon. and that was a senior discount! Not a Planet Fitness there.

Been working on my art every day, here is a pic of some painted paper I made this week. I just use my acrylic paint I had from before, and made it using the Best By add in the Sunday paper.

I learned that from ready my art blogs, you can make hand painted paper for your altered art using any kind of paper. I made a few more pages in my Junk Journal, I will post soon. I found a rolling wire cart at a yard sale yesterday 5 bucks. I plan on using it to go back and forth from Florida / art room to my room in the house. When its too hot or too cold I can not work out there. So I will take the cart to where ever ,filled with what I am working on. I would love to have A/C out there because its more hot than cold. A few days in Dec. & Jan. that's all the cold here.

I went to an art show this AM over at the beach. Lot of nice booths, forgot my camera. After that I walked on the beach for awhile, seen a guy using a metal detector and stopped to talk with him. As we were talking I was not paying attention and big wave came in and got me wet from the knees down, was a little cold but not bad. The guy was telling me he just got started beach combing not finding much .. But he did say a fellow out there yesterday found 5 rings. I have always wanted to do that. When my kids were little I got them one for Christmas one time, we had fun with that. I think that will be something for the future when I have "EXTRA" LOL money.

The cache of the day is one found last week at a toy store. Was pretty easy to find, had to wait out a employee muggler, gathering up shopping carts. My GPS was off a little but I found it!

Off to watch my STEELERS Beat the crap outa the black birds LOL

Well that's all for now thanks for stopping and looking.

blessings to all

Donna & Maggie too.
