New Horizons

My world is about to change.  My youngest son is soon to graduate from our home school.  I am going through the process of mourning that.  I have totally loved teaching my three sons.  Sometimes I think that I learned more than my kids learned but that is not the case.  All three of them are smart as whips and will excel at whatever career they choose.  They were good students and learned what they needed to learn.  I just learned different things. I am now in the place where I need to start a new career.  I do some part time bookkeeping but I cannot possibly do that full time.  I am passionate about my art and about teaching.  I am hoping that somehow I can earn a decent income from my art and or teaching art.   I post this on my blog so that I can put this desire out there.  I am trusting that I can find the right thing.  Something that makes me happy and I enjoy.  So, here I am world.  A woman with 16...

Are you sick of the rust yet?

I just love the color and pattern. 

yet more rust and pealing paint

I think it would be interesting to have a collection of these photos framed and exhibited.  I would title it where moth and rust destroy.  I find it fascinating that thousands upon thousands of dollars can be spent on a car.  A car that was once someone's dream and they all end up in the same state.

The colors and texture are great.  Two of my favorite things.

GRIPS outing

What a fantastic morning I had.  I spent a few hours at McLean Auto Wreckers.  I shot over 500 images and most of them are keepers!  Too much fun.  My mind is spinning with ideas.

CitraSolv and sucky results

Image
I watched an interesting youtube video about Citrasolv yesterday.  Today I had some free time (yay) and decided to experiment.  I have played with Citrasolv before and had some interesting results.  This time I applied the Citrasolv to the National Geographic page and then put plastic wrap onto it.  The above is the result.  Very disappointing.  The video showed much more interesting results.  I don't know what I did wrong.

I picked up these gorgeous inks while in Toronto.  The labels aren't in English so I am not positive they are inks but they were in the ink section.  It doesn't really matter as it is color of them that I love.  Oh how I wish I had more time to play with them.
