53: getting abstract

Today's project ( i forgot one yesterday :/ ill catch up. ) is some abstract art.

To get this effect i used black gesso and spread it on the back of some tinfoil and took a pencil then scribbled on it. after that, I used acrylic paint and markers, and i painted in parts of the piece. It does look more vibrant and better in person, but this photo will do for online. Hope you enjoy ;)

31: For a sore ache

My project today was influenced by a nice big pain in my back. So, responding to that I made a homemade heating pad :P and a cover to go with it. but the heating pad consists of a matchless sock long enough to tie and some rice or beans inside. if you would like it to smell good add essential oils.

Then just add the rice and oils in the sock and tie shut. Then throw in the microwave for between 1 and 4 minutes depending on the size.

These are reusable!

mine has a knit cover for looks ;)
