Dorland’s Wax Medium, and why I should have used it in my art journal
I highly recommend getting a jar of this wax for art journaling, and to use as a sealant for paintings. I took a macro shot of the label, so you can read what it says. I haven’t tried mixing it in my paint, but I watched some youtube videos about it, and artists seem to love using it that way.
I didn’t wax my journal pages, and guess what happened? Well, acrylic paint is a plastic, and it was 100F here last week. In the hot months it’s real easy for art journal pages to stick together. I ripped it to shreds when I tried to unstick the pages. This is the end result. :/ I guess I should have remembered to rub a little wax on it, huh? This page I don’t particularly care about, so it’s okay. If it had been a page I love, I would be mad at myself.
You can read more about Dorland’s wax here.
Lots of good info!

If you’re wondering, I paint upside down frequently. It helps me see better.

The best thing to do is copy and paste it from your browser, instead of trying to remember it, and type it in.

Big Red Fred
I haven’t posted photos of Fred in a long while because he’s been staying downstairs. It’s too hot and stuffy up here in the studio these days, but the downstairs is nice and cool. I’m thinking of taking this old couch out to the curb in a couple weeks, and replacing it with a recliner. Our city yard sale day is coming up soon, and I’m hoping I can find a new chair. Poor Fred. His couch potato days may be over. :/ Sorry, Buddy, but this couch has got to be the most uncomfortable piece of furniture I’ve ever owned. Seriously. It’s got to go.
I took this photo a few days ago. We’ve had a stormy weekend. Rain, wind, hail, and threats of tornadoes continue today.

I’ve closed comments on posts that are older than 2 weeks, which is a nice little WordPress setting that I like very much. Lately, spammers have been comment bombing old posts, sometimes sending me 100’s comments on one post at a time. It seems that once one spammer comments on a post, a whole slew of them swoop in or maybe it’s all the same spammer using different email addresses. Are spammers even real people? Idk. Whatever the case, it leads to far too many comments to weed through. I don’t feel like dealing with it, so no mas!
Have a great weekend! I’ll see you on Monday.

Happy PPF, if you’re visiting on Friday. I haven’t been around to party for a couple weeks, so be sure to click on the banner up there, and scroll down to see what else I’ve been up to lately.
If you leave a comment, please be sure to include a link to your blog to make it easier to visit you. If I have to go look for your blog link somewhere in my bookmarks or in my blog reader, there’s a reallllllllly good chance I’ll get distracted, and never make it to your blog. My intentions are good, but I have the attention span of a gnat. No link with your comment = me probably not going to visit.
