Portable Art -- Checkbook Covers

My son brought a roll of canvas with him

when he moved back 'home'...

so...it's just been sitting there...for over a year now...

and after all the trials...errors...experiments...etc..

I finally got into the canvas and started making

'portable art' covers...

for checkbooks...

journals...etc.

They do take a bit to do...but I'm really liking

how they are turning out.

I was hoping to have a dozen or so of these 

listed by the week-end...

now it will depend on how well the Advil

works...

I was pouring boiling hot water into a container

and poured it right on my left hand...

it burns like fire...

I can't believe I did that...

I guess that's what I get for trying to do too many things

at once.

So...my being in such a hurry to get back

to my painting...I ended up actually slowing myself down.

I had to sit around all yesterday afternoon

with a cold pack covering my hand..

smearing antibiotic ointment and aloe gel all over it

every couple of hours.

Needless to say...all the plans I had to get all sorts

of things painted..

will still happen...

just at a much slower pace.
