Today was a play day

Today I planted over 50 tulip bulbs in my front garden, which makes up most of my front yard. After the work out I got yesterday, and the planting today, I didn't really want to make anything that required thinking or planning. So, today was for ME. I just played with some materials and tools I've put on the back burner due to the swaps.

The first thing I did was make 15 trees from a metal stencil, paint chips, and gesso.

Next, I took time to play with some Liquitex Flexible Modeling Paste, which Kathy gave me when she was down the last time. The piece took a lot more paste than I expected, so I'm not sure I'm doing it right. I placed the circles in the paste while it was still wet. This will be an ongoing project that I envision taking lots of layers.

And finally, I dipped a rose bud in gel medium that I accidentally cut off my rose bush yesterday. Hopefully it will dry enough for the lovely pink color to show.

Now I don't know what I'll do with any of these elements, but that's the fun of just playing. One of these days, when I least expect it, I'll know what to do with them.
