BE STRONG

Be Strong!

We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;

We have hard work to do and loads to lift;

Shun not the struggle-face it" 'tis God's gift.

***

Be Strong!

Say not, "the days are evil. Who's to blame?"

And fold the hands and acquiesce-oh, shame!

Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name.

***

Be Strong!

It matters not how deep intrenched the wrong,

How hard the battle goes, the day how long'

Faint not-fight on! Tomorrow comes the song.

Altered Dominoes

This week over at ATCsforALL in the Zentangle Social group our challenge is altering a Domino. I made 3 turning them into magnets.

First  I started by sanding the back of the domino

Then I apply gesso to the sanded domino applying layers which I sand

making it smooth

Then I draw my design. Some use felt pens, some paint

since I was experimenting I tried using Micron Pens they worked great!

Once I am done and satisfy then I sealed mine with Diamond Glaze.

And, others use other sealers too, you just have to experiment, see

what works for you.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: It's Up to Us to Defeat Boredom

The amount of satisfaction you get from life depends largely on your own ingenuity,

self-sufficiency,

and

resourcefulness.

People who wait around for life to supply their satisfaction usually find boredome instead.
