Slate

I was laying in bed trying to sleep the other night when it suddenly dawned on me how much fun it would be to draw on the floor... no I hadn't been drinking :eek: Couldn't get the idea out of my head and couldn't go back to sleep either... soooo... I got up to stare at the floor :o
Remembering the lesson my sister learned at an early age relating to art supplies and floors, walls, cabinets, doors, curtains... well it was a long list... overall, I didn't feel like getting in trouble and couldn't pry the slate of the floor either :(
I did find a couple of chipped pieces outside at midnight and scribbled on them to see if my brainstorm would work - it did and I bought a few small tiles Thur.
Gave my "prototype" to my mom for her bday :) 6"x6" prisma on slate... and no I haven't looked into a sealer strong enough for them to be a backsplash, lol!

good to see you working..even if it is.. oh, nevermind those are your nomal hours!

actually our CPSAchapter pres, Elliot Everson does his work on Travertine tiles. I never wanted to try it myself. Tell you what though, framing those suckers is a whole new ballpark lol. Oh as is hanging them.

perhaps you should look into sealing them for tile use!

:D

I imagine the hanging would be - I'm sticking w/ small work that can set on a mantle I think! :eek:

I've been really good as of late - have been getting up at 9 or before and going to bed by 10 or 11!!! REALLY!!!

Brandy said...

Yippie - does this mean I get to be an official bad influence? *devil grin*

Artman2112 said...

more than likely it will be the other way around!

Brandy said...

LOL - many have tried and failed... I thought I was good but my rep. seems to be the opposite :p

Brandy said...

... of course, you do already draw on the walls!

Hey Brandy! I just found your blog through Beth M! I was delighted to see you on her sidebar and thought I'd stop by to say hi! HELLO!

Your work has inspired me so much and I'm constantly in awe when I look at your amazing talent blossoming before my eyes.

I've been blogging for a few years and would love to keep up with you here.

So good to see you again and hope all is well with you in your special corner of the world.

Hey Brandy!! Glad to see you posting something here! Ever since I saw your tile work I thought I'd give it a try. What kind of tiles did you use again?

You, getting up at 9:00 AM and going to bed by 10:00 or 11:00?!?!?!?! I'd have to see it to believe it. :D
