With the holiday & trigger season, there hasn't been much painting except a few paint pours... not my best work, I may add but I guess that's to be expected coming from the frame of mind I've been in of late.

I also tried some old CDs as painting surfaces to use up some paint leftover from a previous pour... for these I had the vases on top of the CDs & poured over the top then removing the vases & tilting the paint over the edges. The second set seemed to have lost most of the contrast colour & hence the vase & CD are fairly dark compared to the first set.

I also did a second layer of resin on the side table with very disappointing results... I tried a local resin from Bunnings, but it doesn't look like it's self-levelling & the surface doesnt look anything like what I expected. Well, that's a $300 worth fail & to say I was devastated๐Ÿ˜ฅ is an understatement. Now I'm trying to salvage this one to become be sellable so I can get more materials.๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿค”

My other challenge is to find a way to create a 100% level surface in my studio for the pours & resin to dry properly. Fire away in the comments below should you have any suggestions.๐Ÿค”

With the help of my Elijah House tribe sister Wendy, we've identified some of the wounding behind my "trigger season" on Friday & I'm edging ever closer to dealing with those roots & sinful responses... thank you Lord for the clarity You've provided.

Next week I will focus on preparation for Elijah House encounter group starting in February...
