Today, I was away early and catching the bus by 11:25am. I wanted to get there by midday, eat my lunch and jump straight into working on my altered book. When I arrived at the Logan Art Gallery, I was the first to show! I thought we had agreed to meet at midday; but everyone else didn't. Oh well, I got into working on my book after my lunch of Ratatouille and a nice hot Milo.
I unpacked my backpack, pulled out old 'Good Reading' and 'Writer's Journal' Magazines and found a pair of scissors and picked through them over the next hour or so until everyone else arrived. And before I knew it, they all did - one by one - and so did the people who were bringing the laminating machine (which I've never used before). Once we got it to the right setting, which was the hotter setting, I started slotting my painted up - ready - pages into the pockets and feeding them into the machine. They came out better than I thought! And now all I have to do is get a pair of scissors and take off the excess laminate.
I went through my magazines another 3 or 4 times and still brought them home just in case I missed something in them. But I didn't glue or paint anything. So, tomorrow, I'll be working on the next phase of my story in them. After I've got the whole story finished up, I'll work over it again and paint the background with a detailing brush and some bright colours.
