Friday Fun

I love the way that coffee and grounds stain paper. I love the unpredictable nature of the way that it dries and it lends itself well as a wonderful drawing and painting surface.
This is sitting outside in my carport/studio area this item that my drawing is leaning on is an old couch base that I found on the property. It was so wonderfully rusted and because I spied it early in spring all the vines and earth that were around it had not hidden it for another summer. It took a good bit of digging and was extremely heavy. I had to roll in a way from end to end to get it to the carport. It fits perfectly where I put it and I have a work table in front of it that I use to spray bleach or paint or whatever. It's been so hot this past month that I haven't been out there much but this week has had a blast of rain and cooler temps so I've been venturing out again. Before I know it, it will be fall and then winter will set in again. It would be so nice to be somewhere that it was 70 degrees and less than 50% humidity all year .. haha .. a girl can dream can't she?
