Folk Art Mixed Media No. 3

This piece started out with a cool

moon and starry sky behind her. 

I really liked it, but thought it needed something else.

It was missing an oomph of some sort. 

Well, one thing led to another and the background

I started out with has now vanished. 

I'm kind of sad that I didn't take a picture

at that earlier stage.  C'est la vie. 

It still doesn't have any type of top coat on it. 

I'm leery of the beeswax and I don't have any self

leveling gel, nor have I ever used it before.

I need to figure something out in that regard. 

Other than that, I call her finished. 

Now that number 3 is behind me, I can

say I'm learning not to take the process

too seriously. 

If I make a mistake or somehow ruin it, so what?!

I'll take note of what I learned from the mistake, put

it behind me, and move on!

Thanks for stopping by!

Funky Paper Towel Dispenser

My husband and I were in the

food service industry for over 30 years.

You could say we're hyper sensitive to germs. 

I love the idea of disposable towels

in the bathroom~even more so if they're covered 

and protected from germs. (I wasn't kidding earlier).

Why not use a commercial dispenser in the bathroom?

Being an artsy person, I couldn't leave it unadorned. 

The surface was shiny metal and the sides were plastic.

I found Sharpies and Sharpie Paint Markers worked the best.  

There're several composition notebooks lying around

my house, filled some of my favorite quotes.

This particular quote was found in an old Victoria Magazine.

I was saving it for a special project for the bathroom, 

excuse me, lavatory. 

Now maybe it's time to make one for the kitchen. . .
