Audiobook: Never Lie by Freida McFadden

Turning the upstairs bedroom into an art studio was kind of a spur-of-a-moment decision. I've had a mini easel for years but I've never found use for it. That inspired me to paint a nautical scene onto thick cardboard found from behind a watercolor paper pad. 

Making the color palette was fun. I violently spashled paint on a piece of wood after having drilled a hole in it, and laid the whole thing down on a stool I found for cheap from Minimaailma. 

You can't play an artist without paint and brushes. The mini acrylic paints are made from Fimo, and the brush parts of the brushes are scaled down from their real-life equivalents: I used scissors to cut a bundle of hair from a paintbrush and applied a droplet of superglue on one end. Then I glued it on a wooden stick and sealed the brush with gold tape. 

 It's still very empty in here.
