Today I used the some of the gift cards my sister Sue gave me for my birthday and I framed some small sized art...I also re-homed my bamboo-like plants, and got three new Micron pens.

 |
| I have been meaning/wanting to re-home (it isn't really re-potting or replanting) these two bamboo-like guys for a long time but I could never settle on a color for the glass pebbles and also today I was able to find a not too expensive thick-ish glass vase. These glass pebbles look red, but they are really a dark orange. I couldn't get the plants to stand up so I gave them the rock (that I've had since I was a teenager) to help take up space and look nice. |
 |
| The plants also have these guys for company...I hope they do okay in the guest bathroom. The skylight is quite a bit brighter than the light in the studio. |
 |
| I got a 5-pack of inexpensive 5x7 frames -- just to get started with and put some of the cute artwork up on the walls. I may eventually have this stuff framed professionally, but for now this is good...at least I will be able to look at it! I popped the desk flap thing off of them. I really dislike trying to use desk frames as wall frames -- it is so frustrating to get that little triangle part to go over a nail head. |
 |
| Oops...one of the kid paintings is on canvas and these frames aren't really meant for that. |
 |
| In the box of artwork-that-needs-to-be-framed I found the two guys that William Hessian colored in when he was here the last time...we collaborated on my Penciled In series for Art-o-mat and these were the two characters that I printed out on regular printer paper that he practiced on and he signed them and I kept them...today I found a way to display them with some really nice handmade art paper (that I find too heavy/thick for collage). |
 |
| THIS time I am NOT going to just throw stuff up on the wall without planning the area out. It may take a day or two, but I will find the right spot for these. |
 |
| Here is a preview of what they look like...two colored pencil guys, three acrylic paintings, and two linocut prints. |
Thanks for the gift cards, Sue!
