teen thought # 1

Petty things make sense only to petty minds.

Deep down in her heart, she knew the words held true meaning.
It is true that she is an adolescent.
It is true that she has left her childhood.
It clearly ensues then, that she is no more "little".

Why then, is her mind yet 'petty'?

EASY AND FUN TILE PAINTING

Tile painting...like never before!

Steps

1. Take a tile (any shape, but preferably plain). textured tiles make it difficult for you to paint, especially when you are just beginning! Also, see that you get some single-colored one.
   
2. wipe it clean with a damp cloth. If it has some stains or marks, scrub using some soap and an old, used tooth-brush and get yourself a sparkling tile!
   
3. Draw on it with pencil whatever you want... Let your imagination run wild. For a first shot, try out a tree on the left side and some fences extending to the right edge. Also probably some nore nature elements in the backdrop.;go wild! you can even write custom messages.
   
4. Re- draw your pencil work with fevicol (a tube with a nozzle works best).
   
5. Let the layer dry completely and draw over again with fevicol.
   
6. After each layer dries, apply another one. In this way make 4-5 layers of fevicol over your drawing.
   
7. Let the whole thing dry for about 24 hours. patience is essential for a neat, non-smudgy work.
   
8. Add acrylic colors. You can even paint over the background where you have not applied fevicol.
   
9. Let dry completely.
   

Tips

• you can even apply layers of fevicol on an area(that is, a region, where you haven't drawn anything.
  
• just before the the glue dries, comb it over with a comb or the rear end of a brush, to give that textured watery effect.
  
• Paint in cool blue shades
  
• Acrylic or fabric colors give you a lovely shine.
  

Warnings

• Best results obtained if the fevicol dries of really well and hardens up.
  
• That means you can leave each layer to dry for a "minimum" of 15-20 minutes.
