The Big Weekend

while Charlie and his Daddy
went on a boyz weekend - doin' freaky boyz stuff -
uuurgh uuuurgh -

the rest of us stayed home for a beachy day
and a Charlie's Angels fest -
and i wrote my second ethics assignment
until the wee wee wee small hours.
well - i mostly stayed up that late because
i find it hard to sleep
without Bulldog's heartbeat next to mine.

today i started finding my mojo for my art journal -
oh how i love food colouring.

it's supposed to turn out like an altered book -
with *ahem* all of our *ahem* paintings in it.

well, as we all know,
i am NOT the scrapbooking queen,
so this is as far as i've got -
(recognise that piltdown man photo? c'est moi)
it's the front cover -
which still needs a little *jhushj* -
some fancy paper and some string.
or some glue would be a good start.
i followed this tutorial
to use up some of the overflowing
plastic shopping bags that've been
accumulating in my pantry -
to back the letters on.
because i'm insisting on doing
this project on the cheep cheep.

the tute shows ya how to make
a fabulous recycled bag.
and they use waxed paper to iron on, but i used
"white newspaper" and it worked fine.
try it, you'll love it.
you can even use up all your spare
seat belts for the bag straps.
i know. g-r-e-e-n.

so yesterday - i "Collected Images".
that's an Art Phrase, don'tcha know?

tomorrow i need to rush the drawings and paintings then.
i think i'll be needing Miracle Max.
