NEW CHEF ON THE BLOCK

WELL ACTUALLY..IT WAS LOOKING BETTER THEN THE PICTURE BUT ITS JOHNS FISH DINNER WITH NUTS AND ORANGES..SORRY JOHN...WAS REALLY YUMMI...BAD PICTURE!!! JOHN HAS ONLY HAD 2 COOKING CLASSES BUT FINALLY THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE DULL DINNER DINER OVER HERE!THEN...SATURDAY WE HAD CHICKEN WITH SEASONINGS, VEGGIES ALL COOKED EXACTLY PERFECT..AND A SALAD!! YUMMY. NOT JUST A REGULAR SALAD..OH NO...THAT TOO WAS VERY TASTY SO ..THATS 2 FISH DINNERS..A CHICKEN DINNER AND....??? WHAT NEXT??????? HE LIKES TO SURPRISE!!!
EXPERIMENTING STILL WITH AIRBRUSH AND ACRYLICS..I STILL HAVE SOME SELF LEVELING GEL TO PUT OVER...MANY COATS...AND IT STILL NEEDS SOMETHING ELSE...THINKING...TO HI-LITE THE AIRBRUSH PAINTS AND LET THE BLUE BACKGROUND..STAY IN THE BACKGROUND. HEY, I DONT' KNOW. I AM JUST DOING EACH DIFFERENTLY AND TRYING NEW IDEAS UNTIL I CAN GET THE LOOK I AM LOOKING FOR...ME...MINE...
HERE IS A CLOSE UP OF THE COLORS. THEY ARE REALLY BEAUTIFUL..AND ITS FUN TO WATCH THEM FLOW...
OH YEAH..AND HERE IS THE WORKSHOP! HA. WHAT A MESS...PAINTS..BOTTLES, STICKS, CANVAS, LITTLE PLASTIC CONTAINERS TO WATER DOWN THE ACRYLICS..JUST A BIG MESS..LOOKS LIKE A REAL ARTIST TABLE..HA...FOOLED! BUT..ITS FUN. I JUST KEEP MIXING, POURING, SHAKING..STIRRING..WHATEVER.................THEN I HAVE TO CLEAN IT ALL UP!!! ( SOMEWHERE IN HERE ARE PAINT FILLED PLASTIC GLOVES)

LITTLE THAT THEY DO.........MY NAILS ARE....WELL...PAINTED...ISN'T THAT WHAT NAILS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE...PAINTED???

TO BE CONTINUED...................

WELL I WANTED TO TAKE MY JOURNALS UP A NOTCH SO I AM PAINTING ON CANVAS AND THEN GLUING TO THE COVER...LOTS MORE FUN. THIS HAS LED ME TO

WANT TO DO MORE PAINTING, WHICH IS WHAT I REALLY LIKE. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CHEMIST..WILL SHOW YOU WHY.........
THIS WAS THE FIRST USING AIRBRUSH/MOLDING PASTE , PAINTS AND GELS.

I FOUND IT LOOKED TOO FAKE! NOTHING INSPIRING, BUT LOVED WORKING WITH

THE DIFFERENT MEDIUMS

THIS IS NOT A GOOD PICTURE..BUT THIS IS JUST AIRBRUSH/ACRYICS AND BEAD GEL.

DIDN'T LIKE WHEN I PUT SOME GLAZE OVER...SO BACK TO THE BOTTLES...
BELIEVE IT OR NOT. THIS WAS MY SCRAP PAPER. I HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH PATTI BRADY SINCE I AM FOLLOWING HER SUGGESTIONS FROM HER BOOK..AND SHE SAID TO "TRY OUT THE COLORS' BEFORE POURING ON YOUR BOARD. WOW. I WISH I COULD DUPLICATE THIS..BUT THATS IT..WITH THIS TECHNIQUE ITS NEVER THE SAME.
SO HERE IS MY FINAL. BUT OBVIOUSLY..NOT MY LAST. STILL LEARNING. I DONT' KNOW IF THE PICTURE SHOWS THE REAL BEAUTIFY OF THE COPPER ON THE RIGHT..OVER THE BEAD GEL...ITS BEAUTIFUL EFFECT...IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU WILL SEE THE ORANGE NEAR THE BOTTOM, WITH SOME WHITE AND BEIGE TO FILL IN...AND THE BLUE WHICH YOU CAN HARDLY MAKE OUT AT THE BOTTOM...I LET THAT THEY FLOW AND FLOW ITS OWN WAY...OVER THE BEAD GEL ITS BEAUTIFUL...

SO WHY DID I FEEL LIKE A CHEMIST? BECAUSE I WAS CONSTANTLY WATERING DOWN THE ACRYLICS...PICKING SOME AIRBRUSH COLOR..POURING..BACK TO THE ACRYLICS..NEEDED MORE WATER..LESS WATER..MORE GOLD..LESS GOLD. THE STUDIO TABLE LOOKED LIKE A CHEMIST WORKSHOP..CUPS, PAINTS, STICKS..

ANYWAY. HERE IT IS!
