New hobby

Like I need a new hobby. But yeah, I got sucked in. I bought Unicorn Spit. What is Unicorn SPiT? It's a gel paint and stain. Endless possibilities. Kinda pricey upfront for the full range of colors, but a little goes a long way, and you can stretch it further with water, alcohol, floetral, etc....

There is a basic range of 14 colors, 6 sparkle colors and the creator also makes metallic concept colors. The metallics come and go.

At any rate, I got a free piece of furniture  from a friend, and after determining what parts would sand and what would not, I was off. I sanded the top and drawer fronts.

I spread green and blue shades of SPiT and metallic back and forth, spaying with water to help move the SPiT. I wasn't sure I liked what I had when I quit for the night. But under threat of rain, the project went into the garage.

 

And then it started to rain. I have no place inside to work on this type of project.

It rained. And rained. And rained.

And then it was humid. Stupid humid.

So. Finally. Two weeks later, got to work on this again. I must have been in a bluer mood, because it is bluer than before.

 But I did get the paint done and a spray of oil based sealer. Oil based seal first, because the SPiT is water based. Now it needs a few coats of water based sealer. But it's mostly done.

Bad Blogger

Terrible.

 I want to be better at it, sorta. But really every new social site that has bloomed since I started a blog and was only active on a few message board style communities some, not quite, 20 years ago? has just split my attention and given me virtual exhaustion.

I remember when we (the big WE) used email like letter writing, and actually had conversations via email.

Real conversations.

Not just a couple words. Not just an attachment. Not just the daily ads.

It makes me sad. It makes me nostalgic.
It makes me long for the days when sitting on the couch with pen and paper would result in a small stack of letters cranked out to a few friends.

Technology is great. But it isn't.
