World Domination is on hold (again) while I clean up the mess.
It was supposed to be a simple task. Paint the storage box to fit in with other geeky paraphernalia.
I set out to do this:
And ended up doing this:
Seriously.
All I did was grab the bottle of black paint out of the art supply cupboard (commonly known as the “anything that fits in there” cupboard).
As I stepped back, I stumbled – and instinctively through my arms up in the air… And learnt that the lid was not tightly fastened on the bottle.
To be honest, it could have been a crap load worse.
But I was so extremely grateful for the timber floors we had installed in the Lair earlier this year.
This was cleaned up within 1/2 a packet of Spawnling wipes. I can only imagine the torture of trying to get black paint out of carpet.
Soooooo… Do you have any art projects planned for the weekend?

Lol sorry didn’t know there was adjective restrictions! I’ll try to do better next time. And the clean up? Lots of tears, which saturated the carpet and then I soaked it up with white towels, paper towels etc. it was at a show home where I was painting a Mural. Horrors

You panic, then contemplate a fancy lie, consider fleeing, and miracle of miracles get a grip and deal. I still got work after it was all said and done. Phew.
