I don't actually know what I did today. But I'm back to wearing this,

Which made quilting a very risky job.

I strained my wrist when I was a teen, and every now and then it just, I don't know...twists the wrong way or something. I have discovered that the brace relieves pain without medication. also, taking pills often results in me not realizing I should not do something, and either I injure it worse, or drop something....usually resulting in me limping.
....if it hurts up into your palm dearheart, I would opine that you have a touch of carpal tunnel.....

It is starting to rain so I don't know if I can go for a walk because I don't like carrying the big umbrella around. I spoke to the nice and intelligent young woman yesterday and she told me she's going to go back to the North Island in New Zealand because she's going to study physiotherapy and she has to go and live back home with her parents while she studies. I told her once she graduates she should go straight to the top and ask if she apply for a job with the All Blacks(NZ national Rugby team). I told her my grandfather was buried there, in the North Island, and she asked me if I came from NZ and I told her that my Grandfather just left one day when my mother was nine years old and he never returned and went to NZ and started up a new life and new family there. That's his brother in my avatar, he was in the 6th light horse.

Recently I promised some sicko friends that when conditions were right I would put together a little art project and share pictures. On Wednesday conditions cooperated and I was overall happy with the results.

First, ingredients. Bag of trash needing to be taken out, old furniture polishing rag, and four very old bottles of red ink. I taped the rag to the trash bag and started applying the ink. One small bottle was too small to do much good, another congealed, and a large one had discolored to an awful brown. Luckily the ink in the fourth bottle, a stamp pad inker, was more than enough to do the whole job and I was able to save the remainder of that bottle as well as get rid of three old no good bottles!

The second image shows the murder weapon (really the knife I used to cut open the three bottles which ended up not working). Made quite a creditable trail across the entire yard!

Do you know if red nail polish would come out looking like blood on the snow? I don't think a law enforcement person would get fooled with that because it looks too bright red to be real blood.

Nail polish I had not thought of--I was wanting something watery which would spread a lot. This trail is neither as wide nor as dark as I'd like. I considered thinning acrylic paint, but it would have taken a lot of mixing to achieve the right shade, as my acrylic reds are also too bright to look like blood, and I had all this old ink I needed to get rid of anyway. At the very bottom of the last picture is visible some of the ink which was originally red, but discolored to brown.

What's in that fake blood stuff you can buy at the magic shops and toy stores, because people can put it on their face and stuff. Like the fake blood capsules they used in the wrestling. I wonder if you squashed up red crayon's and mixed it with water you'd get something like blood.
