I blocked out the next two weeks ~ no appointments, no meetings, no lunch or dinner dates, NOTHING ~ specifically with the intention of cleaning out my marbling studio. I have so many projects going on right now that I need to re-arrange how I store things and where I store things. I also want to give the studio a fresh coat of paint and put up some new shelving units and add some framing so that I can actually hang some of my work properly. But then my hubby and I went on a walk last night and came across dozens of magnolia leaves on the ground, dried out and in various stages of browns and yellows and I knew exactly what I was going to be doing today. Temps are supposed to hit triple digits starting tomorrow through the end of the week so I knew a "regular" marbling session would be impossible...but a MARBLE-ON-LEAVES marbling session was totally doable! So I came home, made a batch of bath, alummed the magnolia leaves and eucalyptus leaves (also snagged from the walk) as well as some canvas boxes I wanted to experiment with.

Yep. It's gonna be a fun day. (I'll post results tomorrow.)
