Painting accomplished!
OMG this was so much fun! And it turned out almost exactly how I wanted!
It's darker than I planned, and the gold is more transparent than I thought it would be, but all in all it's still pretty frickin cool. I take back everything I said about acrylics. These are lovely and mostly matte, and so gorgeous to work with! All I needed was red and blue with a smidge of yellow. This is also why it's darker than I'd planned to an extent. The red I picked up was "carmine red hue" which is more orange than I wanted, and I had to add a bit of blue to everything. But I just took it all and rolled with it. I love you Winsor & Newton!
It's a cd cover by the way.
Not much went on with this one. Occasionally I find myself having work dreams where I'm trying to explain something to a customer on the phone. This one had a twist though. I was walking by an office in the mall (that had the open entryway and huge signs like discount shoe stores do) which was hiring. It seemed to be something different than what I'm doing now, and for whatever reason I decided I wanted a change. So I went in and got the job and suddenly I realized I was working for Verizon (one of my company's competitors)! I looked around and saw signs featuring their slogan, which had something to do with "One" (which is not their current slogan but I'll be amused if this turns into their slogan). I began to get a little uncertain, but I still rationalized that I'd be doing different work than what I'd been doing as in my dream the company did more than just cell phone service. In fact, the trainer there kept insisting this was so. And yet, as I approached the time when we'd start training I saw notes about taking calls on the phone written on the blackboard! And the classroom was just as ghetto as my real life old job (the one at the other call center). Oh, we're still in the office in the mall by the way.
And suddenly, amongst the people milling about, I see my trainer from my real-life current job. I go up to her and tell her what I've done and that I didn't mean to go to work for a different call center and that I wanted back to work for her company again. Despite the fact that I told her I hadn't even turned in a letter of resignation yet she was very matter-of-fact and cheerfully told me to simply apply again, which was what I didn't want to go through the effort of doing again. And that's about all I remember.
Much better than my dream last night, which left me feeling terribly unsettled and off balance all day. I didn't feel like going out or even showering and getting out of my bathrobe.
