"my friend dylan" - Nic's CyberCrop Sketch challenge at Bon's Scraps
Cut the knot off a string bag and heated it up...perhaps a little too much. But everything is fixed with Prima :)
Thanks to Nicole the CRAFT QUEEN for this beautiful award.
Now I have to nominate 10 blogs I LOVE
Corey Moortgat

I hope there is some new inspiration for you in that list.
PLUS....mention 10 THINGS ABOUT, well, "me"
1. I am short.
2. I have long hair.
3. I drive a daggy but awesome Nissan Pulsar aka "speed machine"
4. I like to have my hair washed by someone else.
5. I like my meals to be cooked by someone else. (see a pattern emerging here???)
6. I enjoy being alone, but love the company of others.
7. Colour on fingernails - maybe, colour on toenails - yes!
8. I can wear any colour at all...white is sometimes a problem, but most any other colour is fine.
9. I share maybe 10% of what really goes on in my life...what's the point of the other 90%??
10. I love Triple J. (yes, even at my age - pmsl)
I've joined The Brave Girls Club. I have to say, each day's emails have me howling at my keyboard which I guess is a good thing (see point #9 above). It's run by Melody Ross and her website has a mantra which I found really really good for a number of reasons.
Thought I'd share it....
Hmmmm, what could I mean?
You'll need to stay tuned until 1st September **wink wink**

ReplyDeleteDeli paper is what you get when you buy a deli sandwich in the US. It looks a bit like wax paper, but without the wax. It is water resistant, so you can't use watercolors very easily. However, it takes acrylic paint super well.
ReplyDeleteYou might be able to buy it in the wax paper, foil, etc. aisle of your local supermarket, or if you have a Sam's Club or WalMart (is WalMart everywhere?), you might be able to buy it there. Here is a tutorial I did awhile back. It shows the box and the name is Kabinet Wax by Dixie (the drinking cup people, I think).
