Lots of Little Things

Lots of Little Things

That’s what I accomplished, today:

I cleaned gel plates, some with hand sanitizer, some with baby oil, some by trying to pull what’s on the plate.

I sanded the back of my lavender dotted flower, and found some paint to match.

It’ll take a few coats.

I finished my, yes it’s pink, dotted flower, went through my haul, and realized I had bought another corner bookmark kit!

I also went to the grocery store, watched EddieMakesArt make some gorgeous gel prints and image transfers, EddieMakesArt

and took a nap.

This 100 day project will be over soon, and I’ll try not to post unless I have something truly post worthy. Eddie’s video is post worthy.

I’ve learned the time it takes to blog every day, could be creating time.

The next couple days

The next couple days

The only thing I fixed was pasta and sauce. Vivi was home sick from school, maybe from all the Valentine’s sweets. Oh, and I fixed her some hot tea, too.

Day 15, #the100dayproject2024, #fixandfinish.

Viv was better the next day, so I headed home for a couple of days. I stopped at Cracker Barrel and found this, on sale!

My sister-law, Pam, loves peacocks and has a new studio at her house, with windows! I took a detour and headed straight for it. I gave her the glass panel, we had a great visit, and I finished my trip home. Day 16, #the100dayproject2024, #fixandfinish.

The 100 Day Project

The 100 Day Project

This is the third year I have participated in the 100 Day Project. The first year I did collage papers. I used the gel plate to print many of them.

Last year I concentrated on bracelets, beads and buttons. I made gemstone ladder stitch bracelets and sometimes fastened them with polymer clay buttons I made myself.

This year, I have chosen, “fix and finish.”

This is a broken necklace that has been waiting years to be fixed. I’ll be documenting what I fix or finish here moving forward.
