Well I finished the piece and here it is. Had to go back to it to wait for the texture medium to dry and the masking. I need new masking fluid and better stuff. It actually coloured the paper so that's not good.

It also makes me think that I should be painting an image of my own house. My husband keeps asking for that so look for that soon.

Added to the production yesterday (still trying to make up for my lack of production lately) is a quick sketch made at Starbuck's. I was killing some time and having a tea waiting for the prints I was matting to dry at the museum. Quite nice having to take a break. It was the only time I really sat down all day until about 6.

Day 11 and 12 - August 2, 2009

So I doubled up again as I knew I would with guests over last night. And it is the long weekend but yet again just quick sketches. I don't seem to be able to settle on any one thing and then there are always other chores to do.

I've also been turning some attention onto my etsy site. I'm a bit disheartened with it at the moment and I'm trying to think of ways to get some sales. No luck so far. Maybe when I get my moo cards and can start hawking my wares out in the real world? We'll see. I'm toying with the idea of leaving them in library books and seeing what happens.

So once again a chair. This time inspired by a brown leather one seen in a French magazine. The coffee cup, ditto.
