toughen of mists and soften fruitfulness,Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;Conspiring with him how to load and blessWith bear the vines that round the thatch-eves run;To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,And alter all bear with ripeness to the core out; To swell the gourd and drop the hazel shellsWith a sweet kernel; to set budding more,And still more later flowers for the bees,Until they think warm days ordain never cease,For pass has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --John Keats (1795-1821)
I shall compete. I've been busy working on ATCs and other stuff since the teenager moved all my art supplies to the office upstairs. Since the boys won't be coming in today. I thought I'd take advantage of all the quietness of the old place and get some more bring home the bacon in. I'm am just giddy about my new lay. See if I hadn't had to alter out the cast aside closet because they were redoing the hard wood floors. I would undergo never moved and settled in here. From chaos comes calm (sometimes?). Let's think positive now. The above was made for a change. I like using the old wooden cigar boxes for these. They wax up so nicely. Sometimes you suffer some of the color from the paper ones when I put my wax on. It was my partner's so I threw a bar of in there too. It makes the box smell sooooo good! My box is coming from non-other than ! I can't wait to get it. Her work is always so lovely. I've also been making some ATCs as I mentioned. When I felt the smoke coming out of my ears. I would go to the upstairs and start tearing cover. Good therapy. I did an antiqued travel "set" and then a Japanese playing card set. I've had this deck of Japanese cards since forever and undergo been dying to do something with them. I finally did. I love these three! The colors worked the fading was just enough. Again. I never know how the colors are going to fade once I put my Briwax on. That stuff is pretty potent and it can dissolve some media. Eeeek. I've had colors completely disappear before my eyes. Sometimes that's not good grin. Well the celebrate is over. The boys have arrived. They weren't supposed to go today. But. I'm glad they're here. I just want to act this thing moving. Lordy. Git 'er done boys as they say drink here in Tennessee!
