Gesso seems to be working better.. Still not as thick but I am certain a few more applications and sanding will take care of that pesky wood grain.

More moral support on Project: Pieces of What. I am about to embark on the data design phase (now that the GUI is done).. we'll see how that goes. So many connections and so little ways of coherently organizing it all.

2012.07.18 (23:16): Hmm.. hence why testing is good..

It appears wood eats paint.. like a moo focker.

I'll need to pick up some gesso. *sigh* This is why we test.

Secret Project #2 - designated "Wood Woe Wilson" has now struck out from the safety of planning and into the wilds of the testing stage. A split decision pushed me to head out into the heat to get some supplies from DickBlick (two colors of acrylic, two brushes, paint additive, and a four part plastic paint holder)... then off to Lowes (sand paper, sand paper block, painter's tape, four one foot long piece of shit wood).

Now it's time to wash my hat (lord knows it is giving an awful funk), prep my work area, and start testing paint application on varied surfaces treated with a few different grits of sand paper... then a drying and testing various color combinations applied to first coat.

If all goes well and I find a combination that works the testing phase ends, any extra paint I may need will be purchased, a clear coat can of shelac (though I might have some of that), and the actual final piece of wood composite will be ferreted out for application. Baby steps first on this crazy adventure.

This of course is vastly different from Secret Project #1... designated "Pieces of What".

I forgot I need stickers... lots of stickers! My mind is a wash in ideas of hilarious sticks for things and places to put them. Hmm.. this might have to get in line behind my stamp idea.
