New beginnings...

After 33 years of selling real estate, I am retiring

for the fourth time.

This time I will make it stick.

Too many things have happened this year to show me that it is time.

So now I get to find a new niche and I know it will include lots of creative activities.

This week I found a piece of heavy poster board stashed under the bed

I decided to try some of my yupo techniques on it.

I prepped it with gesso and then gloss medium.  I used gloss because on yupo the paint sort of slides around on the surface,  It doesn't soak in.

Then I painted it with a transparent acrylic paint and covered it with dry cleaner plastic.

I squished it around and let it sit a couple of minutes.

I removed the plastic and had my textured blue surface.

The rest was stencils and paint

Wishing you all a Happy PPF
