It Was Supposed to Be a DIY...

But it was just a mess and I'll show it to you anyway.

So I have this cruddy little clip board I never use.

It's not like it's that bad. I mean, I loved the fact that it has measurements on its sides but I have enough rulers to measure out a mile.

So I decided to paint it. I was feeling a kind of striped patterned thing.

So I started with a baby-blue base and spray painted the front.

Then the back.

 And I was all ready to make some nice purple stripes.

And I start spray painting...

 And it's going all nice n' stuff. AND THEN I FREAKN' RUN OUT OF PURPLE SPRAY PAINT. I'm like "what? Really? FREAKING, REALLY?" So I crack out the acrylic paint and I don't have a single purple that even remotely looks like the one I was spray painting with. So I think to myself "okay, just relax, chill out, I can mix paints, I can do this."

The end product was a purple that didn't completely match the original but is totally undetectable by anyone's eyes but my own. It may bug me but at least no one else will know.

So the back (the spray painted side) came out fabulous. It's not the smoothest, but it's still nice.

 The front, however—the side in which I may write on—was a lumpy-surface-area disaster. The acrylic paint was pulling on the tape and made a couple of scraggly sides and of course I didn't think about what the millions of coats of acrylic paint I applied to get the purple hue right would do to the all over look and feel.

So I said "Nuggets. Just forget it." and I then applied a nice coat of this stuff. Which is for paper but I used it on something totally different anyway. Happy Monday guys.
