I bought a small container of clear gesso to compare with the regular white stuff. This was my first experiment. I brushed the gesso onto tan tissue paper, remembering what great results I had with the GPP Tissue Crusade. I then applied crimson, purple and yellow acrylic. The clear gesso left a sandpaper-like finish to […]
It’s the third or fourth day in a row we’ve been under a heat warning. Yesterday it was 103 and up to 80% humidity. How there be so much humidity without at least a few rain drops falling? Oh, yeah, they never make it to the ground. Still, I can dream of Cool Water with […]

Simply aim the COLORVATOR in the general direction of the offending beasties and upon impact with the patented laser lamp all associated body parts explode in […]
A few of the many wonderful expositions at the Day of the Dead celebration at the Rose Maine Theater in Fort Worth. I’m so glad this holiday has taken root in North Texas. I’ve long preferred it to Halloween. It’s such a joyful celebration to people in our lives. If you click to see the […]
I’m on my second moleskine, and I’m still infatuated with them. I’m infatuated with mine, anyway. I carry it with me most of the time so I can jot down notes, record names of songs, and generally keep track of stuff. Kind of like what I used to do with a checkbook to keep track […]
