outside THE CANVAS

Scrubbies...my fav!

Sometimes I feel like I am cleaning "all the time". In the house, in my studio, after classes, mobile events, and also after myself (thats a biggy). Reminds me of the children's book "I wish I were a butterfly" where the spider, after her webs gets broken (again), sighs and says "Ah well, it's a spider's life"....so to it I say, "Ah well, it's an artists life". Anyways, I thought I would share one of my favorite little gems of my studio; my "scrubby". I found it in my local kitchen store and unlike the round crochet nylon scrubbies (which I have used) this soft, yet coated little fabric square gets tables, brushes, containers, jars, my hands, etc...clean wonderfully. I like the thin ones as they are softer and more flexible (some are stiffish). I have them on hand everywhere, one at the kitchen sink, in the shower (cause I always find paint up my arms), in my travel kit, and, of course, my studio sink. I also take them with me when I teach, as it makes acrylic clean up a snap. These little scrubbies are imperative to have in my mobile ​kit. Everyones asks about them, so I am sharing them with you. Love love love these little guys. "Euro scrubby", check out your local kitchen shop, if not mine has it: "What's Cooking" the Store for Cooks (awesome store!!)...right in the heart of Qualicum Beach...they also have a fb page (same name). I'm sure Pat can send you a couple!

     "Outside the Canvas" is the bits and pieces of my eclectic musings, my work, poetry...and hopefully, some interesting discoveries I make as an artist shred along the way.  I'll try to keep it short and sweet, since my son pointed out "nobody wants to reads blog novels Mom".  
    So...Here's to living our Passion and Painting!
