A momento of another time. This client asked that I reproduce a portion of the original wallpaper from her childhood kitchen on a serving tray. I handpainted the design and sealed with resin for durability.

Aaaaarrrrgh! Personal painter's pet peeve. Today I spent 30 needless minutes retrieving this roller cover, reconstituting the paint, and then straining out the decomposing roller fluff. This is ONLY valuable when someone is going to be using the roller in the next few days. After that, the roller keeps the base paint, extending the surface area for drying and the color wicks away from the roller. Therefore, to maintain color integrity for touchups, you must remove the roller cover, squeeze out the paint into the container and remix or the paint color will not match the existing. Such a waste of timešŸ¤¬
