Reading Update
Adventures in Mixed Media Art: Inspiration, Techniques and Projects for Painting, Collage and More edited by Amy Jones. Pretty good book that focused on assorted mixed media projects (not just art journaling). Kind of seemed like a collection meant to sell you other books from the publisher, as each featured artist also seemed to have their own book from which their project was taken.
“I wonder if there’s a sunnier and softer spot somewhere?” -Mayhem

Cats are not assholes :/ They are just evil
mmm – something to use of the giant amounts of chard still in my garden. I heard a CBC story about that plagiarism last night and thought of you.
A recent post from marylou..Spinning. If you can call it that.
Chris- Thanks for the Star Trek gadget list. I think FC always wanted a phaser and a communicator.
Though how he’ll look wearing them to work, I don’t know.
A recent post from lorraine..Tuesday… no 10.
I hope you have a lot of sunny spots in your place, Chris. There could be fireworks if not.
A recent post from margene..Waiting for Winter
I have decreed that henceforth all pets acquired in this household must be black. I am tired of not being able to wear dark colors b/c they show the dog & cat hair.
A recent post from kmkat..Just in time for Halloween.
The recipe blog MadLibs is perfect. So true.
Aw, sweet widdle kitty and tiger friend.
