A Good Day Here

I want to tell you all about the great customer service I got from www.shoppellon.com.

I ordered 5 yards of black Lutradur from them, & they sent white by accident. I let them know, & they are sending the black & told me to keep the white! NICE!!

I promised Kathy that I would post a couple of pictures of the wall treatment in Warren's bar. We used 2 different glazes over the base paint color to get a leather look.
I must love those colors, because I have used them a LOT!

I finished up the book cover. I put a vinyl layer over the top to make it more durable, & more comfortable to hold.

The feather is the backside,

& here it is open, with the built-in book mark.

We went to the Glacier Brewhouse tonight for dinner. We were going to take my youngest son, Corey & his girl Tasha to dinner, but Tasha came down with the flu. We stopped by to drop off his birthday card (he'll be 32 on Saturday), & she was pretty sick. They missed a good meal. I had Caribbean Jerk Prawns, & Warren had Shrimp Jambalaya. We shared a Peanut Butter Pie for dessert. It's the best dessert in town.

When we got home, I started another small project. This is only 5"x7". It is multiple layers. First was Timtex, then a painted cloth, topped with fused Angelina fibers, then a painted dryer sheet, Sliver thread bits,black tulle, another piece of Angelina fused in a swirl pattern, then quilted with a variegated metallic thread. I anchored it on a framed canvas, & did thread-play to hold the 4 fused glass pieces down. Then I started scattering glass beads across the surface. This is as far as I got tonight. I worked on it for about 5 hours. I intend to turn it into a clock, & will call it "Dream Time". It will be one of my pieces in my show in July.
