Well, thankfully we escaped any damage from the storms that came through in the night. The lights flickered off and on for a short time, but everything is sunny and clear today. DH has gone off to play golf (in this wind!) and I am delighted that my computer is still working. This is a background I made on a piece of double-sided card stock. The green side is the back. I put down blobs and streaks of gesso on the yellow side and let it dry overnight. Then I took some golden yellow and some yellowish green acrylic paints and lightly dabbed across the surface. I will probably use this for a greetings card although the width is 2.5 inches so I could get 2 ATCs out of it. I'll just have to see what it says to me later on. I wish you could feel the texture on this. Really neat.
