I finished the trim and the door on wall # 3 today! I figured out what to do with the computer so I can finish wall # 4. It’s time to put this project to rest and start another one.
Meanwhile in between watching paint dry, I have been working on the altered book and a new mixed media piece. I am nearing the end of the first altered book, and I may or may not attempt another one. I am ready to get cracking on the “big project” that I envision will earn me an “Artist-in-Residence” somewhere, right? Don’t rain on my parade!
I am getting closer to telling the story I wanted to tell with this altered book. I have 3 more “sections” left, and then, the grand finale!

Nice work on your room. As you can see, it takes weeks – months to do projects like this well. It took us 10+ years to clean up and repaint a neglected house in Vicksburg.

I suppose if you count how long it took for me to complete renovation of two bathrooms, I at at the over 10 years mark, too. 🤔 It was way quicker and much easier to let the crew do the kitchen and the extra room makeover, though!

Sounds like you’re almost done with two big projects and anxious to start the next one. That’s a great way to be! I look forward to your coming posts.

Dear Ms. Artist-in-Residence:
You are an amazing creature. I love your mixed artistic endeavors: Creating something brand new coupled with the mundane painting of a room. That’s all I came here to say.
Always,
Takes One to Know One

Dear Takes One to Know One,
I deeply appreciate your recognition of my amazing-ness. I am inadequately humbled. While I am typically more reserved in my expression of emotion, in this case, I will attempt a more informal and relaxed response. This is my first ever use of this format:
XO

It is fun to try new things, but I started work on a second altered book and not sure this is something I will continue to do. I do have one more thought on it, that I might attempt before tossing in the towel…or the book as it is. 😋
