Today I went to my friend, who I affectionately call Millie, and fellow bloggers house for a long overdue artsy play day. Here is her blog http://millermall.blogspot.com/
She and I have been waiting since....I think thanksgiving to have a playdate! Just like Christmas drags by for kids this play date has dragged on and on and today was the day! I took a slew of supplies.... I packed paint, my beloved http://www.dickblick.com/products/princeton-catalyst-polytip-bristle-brushes/ catalyst brush, (it's pricey but worth every penny), my gelli plate http://www.dickblick.com/products/gelli-arts-printing-plate/, two brayers http://www.dickblick.com/products/speedball-soft-rubber-brayers/my rubbing plates http://www.donnadowney.com/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=rubbing+plates, my artguard http://www.dickblick.com/search/?q=artguard&sp_cs=UTF-8&x=0&y=0, dylusion journal http://www.amazon.com/Ranger-Dylusions-Reaveleys-Creative-8-25-Inch/dp/B009MRLEJI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420854248&sr=8-1&keywords=dylusions+journal, my homemade junque journal http://balzerdesigns.com/Classroom/register/make-your-own-junque-journal-2/ aaaand my Paint Mojo book http://www.amazon.com/Paint-Mojo-Mixed-Media-Techniques-Expression/dp/1440333130/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1420854443&sr=1-1&keywords=paint+mojo.
I had intended to make so many gelli prints that I would have a sea of homemade backgrounds and also work on lessons from the paint mojo book and possibly fit in trying to dry and paint a face. I had so many plans, grand plans in my head about Millie and arting and chatting and chatting and arting LOL.
but then... I met Demi....and well it was over. She's such a sweet little puppy. I think we had a connection and she wanted to play with paint too but her "grandma" said no :-( I tried my best to talk Millie into letting her put her sweet little paws in the paint and walk around on the papers, adding texture and her own marks but there was no budging. Instead I played with Demi, we played ball, we played racing around the house, we napped, well she napped and I loved on her and all the while Millie and I chatted and chatted and chatted. A little art was made .... not by me but by Millie. All in all it was a great day and we decided we needed another play date! Stay tuned...next time I might actually make something and I will post pictures.
I must end this post with a picture of Demi...no new furry girlfriend. I mean, look at that face!
Maybe next time I'll let you play in the paint with Demi...maybe...maybe. I had tons of fun too, girl! Definitely going to have to do this again!
