365 Day 129

some days it's just not there

Today has been one of those days when I just couldn't even force myself to make anything...or do anything creative. Allergies? Too warm? I don't know...

I spent most of the day slowly sorting Magic: the Gathering cards back into the boxes alphabetically. I decided I am pretty much done with putting our unneeded cards up for auction...it has ceased to be fun...it has become too eBay-ish.
So I put all of the cards away that I had pulled to put into themed auctions. And yes, that took most of the day/evening.

All I managed to do that was even marginally creative was to stick my former refrigerator magnetic things onto my metal cabinet drawers. I got the idea from Juana, whose cabinet looks awesome. Mine...not so much. I just wasn't into it. But that's all I have for today.

Meh.

Tomorrow will be better -- I know it will!

Day Thirty

I like making these plain, straight forward collages of Animal People making statements. It is quite a challenge sometimes to find the words I am looking for in magazines. Sometimes I have to cut words apart and put THEM together to create the word I need...a collage of words. Fun. But man oh man are those little bits of paper little! My eyes and head feel all wonky now...too much close work in too short a period of time.

Waah, waaah, waah...and I have been typing and/or reading the computer screen for most of the day -- getting ready for a Detroit Derby Girls bout tomorrow. (YAY!)

Back to the collage while I have a few minutes before midnight.

I have made a handful of wordy collages like this, but they are those totally flat magnet strips you can get at Michael's and then I laminate them...they look pretty cool on the 'fridge and they hold pretty darn well. I'd like to do that for Art-o-mat®, but magnets are one of the no-no's...metal machines, and all.
