Nibbling away at it...

So, I spent yesterday organizing all the things for collage that were stacked up under the desk...feel pretty good about that. I also pasted some art work I wanted for inspiration into my notebook. This was a very good thing to do, and I feel that I am making a dent in the dis-organization that plagues me. I also put two coats of paint on an old Barbie doll that I want to re-work...It is odd because there are 3 different materials that make her up...the legs are either rubber or a flexible plastic...took the paint well. The body is a rigid plastic...took the paint only OK. The arms are another type of plastic that did not take the paint at all. The head is the same as the body. I will have to remove the paint I put on and then primer everything first...or, I can coat everything with sizing and gold leaf her and then paint into that. I have more than one of these Barbies to work with so I may just leaf the one I am working on now and know that sanding is not enough for the paint and that I will have to prime first always. It seems that I am nibbling away at the things I want to do. I have also been out to the Garage to get stuff for my class and looked things over. Don has offered to help me clear it up and even offered his guy Richard who can shore up the Garage...we"ll see. I would really like to get it all done and organized again. I also need to get to the furniture that is out there and START PAINTING!!!!!I must stop procrastinating about the furniture. Anyway, I am moving along at my own pace which is probably too slow for everyone else. As Andrew always says "oh well". Eating the elephant, one bite at a time.
