Break

School's out this week, for myself and Teacher Z, at least.
The summer sessions over, we're resting up and gathering energy for the coming school year. A vacation turned make-cation, my materials are gathered an it's time to roll.

On the Make list:

• Update blog
• try out the Makin's Clay
• Try white poster paint in place of acrylic gesso (price and availability limitations) to prep pages and get rid of lines (it works.  the pen slides smoothly across the surface)
• Drawings. Lots of them.
• Envelopes out of magazine pages - this was a class project that turned out nicely, I thought I'd do them at home.
• Chinese Jack Stones.  

Other things on the relax-you-deserve-it to do list:

• Watch the new X-men movie (in the theater!)
• See people I don't otherwise get to see.
• Read!

I am uncharacteristically late showing up this week. I've taken off my watch and don't plan on wearing it again until Monday.
