I've also begun to paint on all the ice cream sticks, coffee stirrers and other wooden items I had collected during the last year. So far I've managed 157 individual pieces, at least half of which will need another coating as both sides will be visible.

The upside is that some sticks can be used in their natural state; and there are some coloured ones I've bought or got from the most generous [livejournal.com profile] badly_knitted, back in the Stone Age when people could send small stuff to Hungary without the recipient being taxed over both ears for them.

I also had a phone call from my friend (and ex-colleague), the art teacher. She'd just spent two weeks in England: one week in London and another one cruising the countryside with a leased car. I'm trying very hard not to die from sheer envy. She's more than deserved something good, the poor thing.
