I guess I will start with the parts that you can't see very well. Unfortunately I wrote in pencil. On the left side it says: Will you fulfil your destiny.What is your purpose. Know how to be happy even when your alone. Don't expect others to beyour fulfilment. Love yourself first. Take time to play everyday. Use what you have. Share your heart through your art. The dots read Believe in yourself. Believe in love. Believe in Viki. Make love. B is for beautiful. E is for enchanting. Y is for youthful. O is colorful. U is sunny. R for real. S for spirit. Love is be loved. I for individual. K is make. I for independant. M for dream. M for memory. K for kind. The bottom says Spirit Song.
I hope you enjoyed this exercise.  http://michelleward.typepad.com/how_cool_is_that/2011/10/crusade-no-56-im-a-believer.html

Ok, I have finished moving and finally figured out how to download my csmera. It was a used camera and didn't come with a cable, so I ordered one and yes it took me this long to get it to load.
 Lets see, I seem to have been seriously accident prone lately. First of all, I tripped and fell into my metal cabinet and split my head open. Not nice! It was gushing blood and I had to have 5 staples in my head. All healed now.
The other day, I bought some kitty toys and was getting the plastic ties off using an exacto knife. Why? I thought it would come off easier than trying to get a scissors in there. I was down to the last one and cut my thumb. It is still numb. Plus afterward I noticed that the tip of the knife was missing. I am pretty sure that it broke off on the plastic.
 Ok, better posts to come.

Green Pepper Press Crusade #54

This months challenge was to pick names first and then create a color to go with the name. I sat down cleared my head and wrote down any words or phrases that popprd into my head. Picture 1:1 is Complaint Dept. It is a mixture of all of the colors I used making the other combinations. A mix of leftovers. 1:2 is Crash Test Dummy. I laid down yellow and made an x over the top in military blue. I am not sure why I decided noot to use black other than military blue is my favorite color. I painted my bedroom that color once and loved it so much. I also call it storms-a-commin blue. 1:3 is Surprise Me and it is a mixture of Pumpkin, Sterling Silver and Pearlizing medium. 1:4 is Pearls Before Swine. It is a mix of Metalic Garnet and Pearlizing Medium. Page2:1 Burningrubber's on Fire is a wet on wet  starting with yellow, then adding Pumpkin and then Bright Red. 2:2 is Super Freak and it consists of Bright Blue, Bright Red and Metalic Garnet Red.

2:3- Walk on the Wild Side- a mix of Yellow and Pumpkin with dots of Metalic Copper. 2:4- Charge It! is English Ivy and Sterling Silver. You can't get  much more money than that. Hmmmm, I guess I could have added gold to the mix. Oh well. 3:1 Rockin The Hammock (I have no idea, I just love hammocks). The mix for this is Pumpkin, Pearl Medium and  Metalic Garnet. Pearly and peachy. Sweet! 3:2 is Ripe Grapes. a mixture of Super Freak plus Military Blue.

3:3 King of the Road- Christmas Green and Burnt Siena. Last but not least 3:4 Sahara Sunset I forgot to write it down but I am certain it is Rockin the Hammock and added Pearl Medium with a smootch of Military Blue.

GPP Crusade #53 Mad Scientist

I have finally completed this project. I don't know why I have been so poky lately.This is the page from my journal. Except for the yellow on the right side all the rest is wet on wet, which is how I usually work in my book. After that I thought what would it look like if I actually mixed the colors in a cup. The next picture shows the results. There is such a huge difference between the fully mixed colors and the wet on wet  painting.
