Jen's DONE already?!?

Sheesh.

That was quick.

That didn't add to my inferiority complex at ALL.

Only 10% of our own paper, Tommi. I bet she did use a wheely or two.

Are YOU using the wheelies?

Hey Tommi ... I've done two so far and I've only used the supplies that ami sent. Maybe you'll be ok without your own super secret paper stash!

But, I think I might need more tinfoil!

Mine got crinkled. *pout*

I do like using the foil, though. I didn't think I would either. Now that I've started, I've got ideas ping ponging inside my head!

I can honestly say I'll probably have several hours of painting into each piece. There will be multiple layers of paint and then there's the time to dry, which I can't (obviously) be doing anything to them. Huffing and puffing on them doesn't help much either. I know. I tried.

Then I have to figure out how to get the image in my head onto the paper. I tried scrunching up my face and closing my eyes tight and bobbing my head real hard, like a genie, but that didn't work.

I keep hearing Dory from Little Nemo in my head...."just keep swimming"....

Maybe you could put them in the oven to dry

amiyesiam · 03-19-2010, 07:07 PM

if people want to replace their foil with new innocent, pure, untried, and unused foil, that is ok

cara · 03-22-2010, 10:32 PM

This project is perplexing me. But in a good way. It's challenging me to use things beyond my usual stickers, picture cut-outs, and paper. But I still don't have any good ideas. It'll get there, though. I've got 9 more days and I do my best work under pressure.

It's going to be a couple of days before I'll have another day to devote to the project too. Mine is also coming along a bit slower than usual. I'm sure we'll both do well!

No doubt! Yours are always wonderful!

I thought I would work on the project last weekend, when I was (somewhat) closer to you on Bainbridge. Never happened. I was too busy sleeping in the comfy yurt.

In life, I rarely miss anything. Having said that, when something does go over my head it is amusing.
So time for a story.

I just got the mail. (simple right?) (it should be)
so there is a package
it is from Diva
I get excited
cause I am the wrangler
and I think
her stuff is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so I carefully cut the end open
and pull out all the stuff
and I look at the first thing
and it is cool
and I open it
and it says
JAKE
I think WTF
then OMG
I got the wrong stuff
then Oh, this is for Jake (from Diva)
then the next one says Softness
and my poor brain is soooooooo confused
it finally dawns on me
this is the green themed stuff from Diva
who wrangled the last round
the fact that it was all green
and not black and the stuff I sent out
should have entered my mind about 5 minutes sooner
than it did
ye gods some days I worry about me
thank god I am off today!!!!

amiyesiam · 03-25-2010, 10:52 AM

oh and everyone's stuff is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!
and thanks to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soft*Silver · 03-25-2010, 10:55 AM

I also got my package today too! Its so wonderful!! I love all the crafts you all did! I cant wait to put some of them in frames to hang in my office/craft room! thank you!

God love Ya for thinkin' I'm Speedy McSpeederson!

And I have a small confession.....there's one card everyone will receive which MAY be for someone else.....it's the painted grass cards....<sigh> I didn't notice it until I looked at MINE, to realize that they must have ALL been designated. I think they might be purepisces' cards.....forgive me, please.
