Circles and a Square

Hey look, it's a $50 art journal page!  Sure, it's hard to tell just by looking at the finished product but trust me, 50 bucks.
    It started with the painted circles on Monday night.  After I'd done 3 colors (2 pinks and orange) I decided I wanted a punch of darker pink as well.  So I portioned out a squirt about the size of a penny if a penny was about half the size that it actually is.  I painted my accent dots and went into the other room to watch tv with the rest of the family.
You'll note that I did not say that I cleaned up my painting supplies.  Because I didn't.  I also did not mention closing the door to my studio.  Because I didn't.
Fast forward an hour and it's time to take Ebby up to bed.  As I approached the stairs I noticed what I thought were large blood drops on the light beige (very light) carpet.  While quite distressing, this was not shocking to me because a. on Saturday Will had a mysterious bloody nose that may or may not have been caused by Little Dog and he was so shocked that he ran directly to the (light) beige sofa in the library and wiped blood all over the cushions and b.  our cat has been having some issues and I thought I saw a single bloody paw print on the window sill last week.  Alas, Will was in bed and the cat was not bleeding.  The cat had however been in my studio.  On the table.  Stepping directly in the not yet dried up blob of magenta paint.  And then jumping down on the the carpeted floor and up the carpeted stairs.
Yes, 7 round spots of magenta paint on our carpet.  Have I mentioned lately that our house is for sale?!
Fortunately my Resolve/toothbrush/dish detergent triage coupled with a visit from our friendly professional carpet cleaner, has restored the carpet to its original, unblemished glory.
So, a $50 art journal page.
$40 for the carpet cleaner and $10 at Hobby Lobby for a set of 4 Pitt pens.
I love the Pitt pens, they are so fun to draw with.
And with my carpet now spotless (for today at least), I was feelin' the love  for the carpet guy too.
