Amebas

Well, I took a magic carpet ride this morning... I was in the shower when the bath mat slipped and I sled! Now I know what it feels like to surf! LOL

Yesterday I had CAG art meeting which was a bit boring interesting at the same time. It was about the artist Caravaggio. I'd stopped to grab a Pepsi to take because sometimes they only have diet drinks and I cannot drink them. They make me feel really weird. Don was picking Rhett up from a dance at school and dance he did! Takes after his mom. Rhett was going with me to library because he had a poster due today & needed to look stuff up. A lady artist named Wave made the most wonderful desert that I must get the recipe.

It seems I am constantly discovering things about life and myself. Rhett had took make a small poster about organism and amebas. Rhett took in the wrong book inside the library, but didn't come get my keys to exchange it not that I would have let him go back out to the car by himself. So that meant we had to do it at home with our slow dial up computer. I was frustrated because when you try to look up one thing it was directing you to other links which directed you back to where you began! Should have just googled which I did later. I called my friend Jimmy for some help and he was helpful esp since he taught science! I was thankful. Mike, I didn't want to bother you since it was after 9.

As I looked at all these organisms and amebas, I realized they looked a lot like some of my art work esp when using plastic wrap and ink. So we made a background page doing this with mostly blue ink, a little black and a tiny bit of red on an 8x10 piece of paper. We adhered google images of organisms and an ameba randomly. It looked pretty cool I thought. Then we adhered that to a 12x12 white scrapbook page as we had no poster board. Nor was I going back out to get one! I love it when I use what I have in the house.

Afterwards, I liked the ameba so much that I drew my own version of one! Who knew? Life imitating my art and vice versa. I will probably place it on black scrapbook paper and frame it! "Ameba" by the RAV. LOL This opened up a whole new door for me artistically...
