Some time in the country....

The corn....its little and it'll be late this year....
The wheat field...
Spent some time out in the country and wandered through the fields...it was fun...I did take pictures in the corn field and wheat field for fun. It was nice to take a drive through the country and see what's going on outside the city.

moulding paste....

So it turned out using the moulding paste the second time was a tad bit more difficult. I mismatched the tinting and on the second painting have white flowers with a slight hue of blue instead of light blue like on the first one, so now I have to paint the flowers which works alright since the background is blue. I can hardly wait to try a whole other painting with other mediums...but finish one thing at a time. Almost done these and ready to hang them.

The blog is alive....

My latest masterpiece...
I just completed it yesterday, experimenting with different mediums. I used a glass bead medium for the background to give it the sand effect. And for the flowers I used a moulding medium...very cool! It was a lot of fun to work with and I got really, really, really messy! This picture is going into my basement bathroom...I want to try to add some green glass bead medium to the background since there is some green in my bathroom...but we will see! I kind of like it the way it is.

Krispy Kreme Cheese Burger

Introducing the Krispy Kreme Cheese Burger....
I am divided on whether or not this is a good combination for a cheeseburger.
I enjoy reading the news and today a headline caught my attention: "New spin on Cheeseburger at State fair creates buzz." Now I am an avid enjoyer of Bacon Cheeseburgers. Having tasted them all over the city and other places so a headline stating that sparks an interest.
The wisconsin state fair last year introduced chocolate covered bacon, this year it's the Krispy Kreme Cheese Burger. They test ran the idea at the fair and apparently a large number of people who tried it, loved the combination of the Krispy Kreme donuts on the cheeseburgers.
I view it as another healthy treat. You'll go Hyperglycemic from the krispy kreme donut on top due to the glaze full of sugar and you'll get your arteries clogged from the greasy cheeseburger. It is definitely a winning combination if your concerned about your health.
I think I will continue to eat my cheeseburgers seperate from my desserts.
