| Stage one, a pale angel... |
I spent the whole day in the studio and am now sporting multicolored fingernails. Paint, not polish. Manicures and I don't agree. I think the first and only time I had one was before my wedding. It wasn't a soothing experience. These days it would probably be a waste of cash. I usually have dirt or paint under my poor nails and I tend to walk into things.

| What to write... |
I made a start on angel # 2 and then got bored and started to paint the beam that runs the width of the studio with blackboard paint. The first coat went on all slimy and drippy. It took two more coats before it had any resemblance to a blackboard. Meanwhile I learned from daughter #3 that people actually do not use chalk to write on their blackboards at cafes and shops. They use chalk markers! Who knew? I thought they just had extremely nice writing and skill with chalk. I need to get me some of those...
In between coats of blackboard paint , I sat at my computer and made a mermaid playlist for some inspirational painting music. A lot of whales yodeling and ocean waves battering the shores. Yep, I made one for angels too. Then I got started on my mermaid picture by creating a background with acrylic paints and my fingers.(Another good reason to pass on the manicures.)

| Add a mermaid. |
Lastly, I found this sweet little felt owl pattern at
www.juicy-bits.typepad.com. I haven't made one yet but I have cut out the pieces and have my felt lined up. Need to purchase some rick rack too.

Oh I am so envious of your girl cave. It looks so organized and pretty.
Are you going to write on the beam now?
I am looking forward to your little owls. Are they for the tree at work, or are you going to keep that one for just you.
What did you decide to put on the beam?
