I started with a tiny photo, but a cool composition.

Step 1

Step 3

Then three layers, I deleted step 2/red and played.

I drew with the mouse in blue.

step 4

This one took 1 hour 5 minutes. Some are quick, some not.

It's not what I planned, but then I am not often in control.

Did you watch the Jetsons?

Did you see the Carvana commercial on tv?

The brand-new Westminster Car Vending Machine – 

a sparkling eight-story structure that’s altering the car 

buying landscape for more than 13.1 million 

residents living in greater Los Angeles.

 

The most frequent question asked at google is 

if the car vending machine is real? I wondered too? 

The 20th & newest structure is at  

13950 Springdale St, Westminster, CA 92683Westmister,

easily seen from the 405 freeway, southbound.

Dad would say... "Never thought I'd see the day?"

A smile for Friday ...

New news!

I have two ears like everybody else, but one didn't work.

When I was 19, in college, I got mumps and a very high fever.

At first I had no hearing at all, but with medication, the left 

finally recovered, the right didn't. A complete nerve loss.

It wasn't so bad, the left was stronger and I learned to lip-read.

My Dad, however, felt bad for me, as if I wasn't whole.

He repeatedly said, "when I'm gone you can have one of mine."

With the years galloping by, the left eventually heard less well. 

 I missed a lot. Family, students & friends were patient with me.

One friend said "you've been deaf as long as I've known you."` 

Thursday I got 1 tiny hearing aid for my left ear.

Yes, I can hear you now, and a lot of extras.

I heard the big fans at Costco, I had never noticed. They're loud!

I heard my turn signals for the first time! A new world!

I got a call from WonderWoman & Superman Thursday night.

They wondered if I could puppy-sit Friday through Sunday?

They had forgotten that their 24th anniversary is on Monday.

I said:  Is the Pope Catholic?

So, they are off to Palm Springs,

and I am at the house on the hill till Sunday.

Wishing WonderWoman & Superman Happy Anniversary!

And, a wonderful weekend for you kind reader!

A smile for Saturday ...

I am working on postcards, I need 15 to send 

to artists who took the Mixed Media series, mentioned here.

That's the deal. They take a class, trust me with their address 

& I send them a handmade postcard.

 

 

Luckily, I love to make postcards. 

The current process is drawing with a brush pen, 

adding watercolor & trying to salvage it with junkmail collage.

 

And, I work in a cave! 

A small room stacked, crowded & very poor lighting.

So, I have a new cool gadget!

Do you see it? Back center?

It's an UltraBrite LED desk lamp with a bladeless fan!

 

5 levels of brightness + a dimmer ... ♥
Bladeless fan with 3 speeds ... ♥
2 USB Charging ports & touch control ... ♥

I plan to buy another, as I have been taking this room to room.

Costco, $29.99  and I am a fan! ♥♥♥

Just one piece of junk mail (l) started to save the balding guy.

I thought he looked okay balding, but he kept wanting hair.

I aim to please.
