Art Supply Lots

I'm going to experiment with painting fabric this year, so I decided to thrift more art supplies. I ended up bidding on and winning two lots with the things I needed; this one is the first that I got for $9.99. It has all the foam brushes I need, and also a couple of stencils.

I didn't mind that there was a brand new diamond painting kit in it with four small projects, either. Total retail on this lot is $118.47; I paid $9.99 for the whole lot. Savings: $108.48.

This large lot I had to fight a bit for, as there were a couple of other bidders. There were so many brand-new supplies in this lot I felt it was worth the battle (some individual prices on those follow), and ended up winning it in the end.

This calligraphy set doesn't have the ink cartridges, but it came with everything else and I have plenty of ink. New it would sell for $21.29.

A complete set of Prisma watercolor pencils, and only a few have been used. This one retails for $34.00.

Never opened pastels. The cheapest you'd pay for a threesome set like this is $10.00.

Never opened watercolor paints. $5.99 to buy these new.

Slightly used watercolor pan paints. This set retails for $14.99.

This set of gel pens sells for $14.49.

Charcoal sketching set, still sealed, runs about $5.99. After searching for prices on everything else the total for the lot is $176.54. I paid $57.14. Savings: $119.40.

Quite the haul! I used to watercolor paint on fabric. I really enjoyed it and it was very calming. I don't remember why I stopped. I think you're really going to like doing it.

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Love Means This

Invested in a couple of hand-dyed bundles from one of my favorite fabric artists. This one said "Make me into something for Valentine's Day." So I went for a quilted and embellished tote. I kept thinking about what love means to me as I worked on it. Here's the finished tote. Although I was tempted to embellish with beads and pins, I got sick and only felt well enough to do a little stitching every night. As I worked I thought about how often love seems disappointing to us, especially when it fails to live up to our expectations. But now that I've experienced love in many forms, I can say that it's made me a better person than I might have been without it. Love is a precious thing, and should be appreciated in all its forms. I am very grateful for the love of my guy, my child and my friends who have stuck with me all these years. That's you two, in case you're wondering. :) Also finally found something to do with a ve...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...
