How I spent my Thursday... At my aunt's house. She's an artist... She was married to my dad's brother (he died) but is friends with my mom because they know a lot of the same artsy people. My family is complicated...
Anyway, my mom has been insisting I learn to gelli print, and my aunt is awesome, so they talked me and one of my sisters into an art day.
Gelli printing is putting paint on this plate, and using stencils and stuff, to make prints. It was messy but fun. I'm not sure what I am going to do with the finished product, maybe I'll cut them up and make them into bookmarks.
I'd like to get artsy more often, but I don't know how to make the time... I already barely watch TV as it is. Less internet usage is probably the answer. Bye bye blog? There aren't enough hours in the day...
Anyway, it was fun even though I spent about three and a half hours of the day stuck in traffic (it was bad both directions), didn't get in any exercise, didn't do any writing, didn't clean my house, didn't go grocery shopping (we're out of everything), but I got some cool art prints out of it...
In my best JD (from Scrubs) voice: 'worth it.'
Today's plan: catching up on all the stuff I didn't do yesterday...
