It's amazing where we spend our time in our minds. At least when I look at my mind and how I can't seem to control it very well. The thought patterns. Obsessions.

I'm getting closer to giving up my lust for another new art supply! I'm thinking this set of 30 that I already owned will be enough. The "cartoonist" (coloring within drawn lines) type of artists seem to like the alcohol ink markers a lot but that's not my usual style. Though it does seem to make a big difference what kind of paper or surface you work on - I'm been using them on gessoed paper in my journal books and they have a totally different feel on marker paper. I'm going to leave them out on my art painting table for a while and see if I can find a use for them in addition to my usual paints.

I’m sorry about Berdella’s husband. I don’t think it looks like you either.

Yes, sad about Berdella. I think they just had their 60th anniversary recently.

I guess I'm not a very realistic artist for portraiture. Dave also looked at it and said Who's That?

Yes.

I think I'm one of those jack of all trades, master of none kind of people.

My condolences to Berdella.

Putting epoxy on the bottom of the trays is a good idea. The trays are beautiful and will be useful.

Yes. A terrible thing.

Thanks. I'm hoping they'll make good Xmas presents and people will find uses for them. .
