Things change

So, today I had to click on a different thing than last time to get here, and just when I thought I had it down. Oh well, Things Change. The big lesson is to keep riding the waves to shore in spite of it. So anyway, I am still working with my little figures. Today I went to the book store to exchange a book and I got Altered Art which is of great interest to me. While I was there, I thumbed through Somerset Magazine which I no longer subscribe to and there was a formula in there for a resist using non fat milk. I didn't buy the Mag because I am cutting down on stuff that I am not so in love with. The formula is just to use nonfat milk with a pen like ink or a brush to write or draw images and then to either hit it with a heat gun or just let it sit overnight to imbed the paper. Maybe the heat gun is important, I'll have to try it. Or, an alternative ink can be a mix of nonfat milk and sweetened condensed milk. Anyway, you can wash it with inks, etc and it will act as a resist, leaving a creamy white image instead of stark white paper. I think that I read that it washes off the surface when heated. Maybe I'll have to read the article again. Page 70 of the new Somerset. Should have taken notes...just did. I promised Joyce that I would have the kitchen all done before we got together again. Thank God she went to Baja. She wants me to go in Jan or Feb. I guess I might do it. Also, MaryEllen called and she wants to go to Las Vegas soon to visit her brother so We can go together and I can see Janet and Ro. MaryEllen and I can talk while we drive. Who knew I would want to make trips? Every time I see something new I think about how I can make Art about or with it. THAT makes me feel happy. Now, let me see if I can post this sucker.
