Mix Media Clay Projects
This is just about it as far as my silly clay projects go. I had some clay and whatever laying around. I decided to use it up. Speaking of using up, I have been making efforts to use up all my old US art supply acrylics. I have been slowing using up bits and pieces here and there. I am slowly progressing my way with most of the hues of yellow I have in store. I am also almost done with the purple. Most people do not use purple up a lot. I wonder why. It is a nice color....
Butterfly Book
This is a photo I took a couple of months ago. I was just wandering a bit through Key West. They had a lot of random junk for sale. This is one of them. It looked real pretty around the edges.

Unlike all the other problems, this one is usually dire and hard to manage without a lot of pruning. Sure, I could use a more extreme chemical means. Still, I think that might be overkill. The long and short of it is that I watered individual branches with evaporated milk mixed with water. Recently, all the new flowers it has produced have looked somewhat orange and some even...
Art Video: Angelica Kauffman
