Not Pretty...

But it has to be done... I got the inside gesso-ed.  I still have the outside to do. 

I had very little gesso left and had to go to Michael's to get more.  Walmart doesn't carry it anymore.

Anyway, going to Michael's is a time waster...

I had to look around, since I haven't been for about six months.

That put me behind somewhat.

I didn't show you yesterday.  I have another half shelf or so cleared out... I am doing pretty good.  Someday it will all be perfect... Maybe... Perhaps?

OK.  I prevaricate a lot...

While I was working my fingers to the bone putting on gesso, I glanced over my shoulder... I should never acknowledge Tessie's presence. 

She has a number of antique books scattered on the bed and is marking pages again... She now has the brilliant idea that I can reproduce "antiques" for her to sell... I told her that I would only do it if she sells them as "reproductions"... I have a feeling that this is going to be one of those projects that I will be sorry that I started.  I can see it growing at an astounding rate!

I am going back now to cover myself in more gesso.

See you tomorrow.
