Molly Is Not Quite Convinced..

That these are nice looking paperweights. She took one look at them and skedaddled, but I’ll get to that later. For now I just want to convince her that these paperweights are actually tiny bars of silver that are growing in value as they wait holding the paper. OK the whole thing sounds kind of weird when I write it out, but it’s that kind of post! Nonsensical funny kind of post.


I’ve Got A Few Silver Bars ..

A few 2 ounce monarch silver bars to be exact. Most of them given to me by my parents as gifts, which I am very grateful. I thought why not put these to good use and utilize them in holding down the corners of this painting and maybe straighten out the whole piece. As these painting sit and dry sometimes the edges curl a little bit. Sure I could use tape, but where’s the fun in that?

So, I place them at the four edges and let them sit there a while while they grow in value. I saw that silver pressure shot up today, so my little trick is already starting to work. I figure I will trick silver prices into shooting up if I tell them that silver is just a big paperweight. Ha ha ha ha.

They actually look pretty cool at the edges of the painting. These rough poured bars look cool to begin with, but when they reflect the colors around them they look even nearer.

OK, I do understand that this could be a little overkill, but it’s fun to play around with your silver when your bored. Anyhow, I was thinking Molly needed a little excitement in her life, because she doesn’t have that much of it to begin with. Minus plants falling over in the house and what not… You’ll have to read my last post if you don’t understand.

Let’s introduce this new idea to Molly and see what she thinks of the whole thing.

Molly is sleeping soundly and I hate to even wake her and torture her like this, but I want to see her reaction to what silly things dad is doing. As I approach she doesn’t hear a thing, partly because she’s going deaf and partly because she has a sound sleeper. I gently bring the painting up to her and nudge her with it.

Look at her taking interest in my idea! So cute that she is really looking at this in detail and trying to express her thoughts.

Oh no! I think I held it here too long and now she is having second thoughts about this whole shenanigans.

As you can see above she is plotting her escape. I need a flash of a moment, she is out of there! i’ll tell you no appreciation for great ideas.

I put the very expensive paperweights back in the safe, and took my painting and put it back with the others to dry a little bit more. It was a good idea, but I did not get much support from my biggest fan Molly. She just doesn’t see the point in it. One day, one day this girl will learn about stacking and about creativity. Who knows maybe I will too LOL.

Hehe.. See, GREAT MINDS think alike! 😁

That's really funny with Molly running off like that. Nadi is the same way. If i sit near where she has chosen to lie down for too long she finds another place to sit because I am invading her space.

I like to believe that she likes me, but sometimes she has a terrible method of letting me know that is the case.

hehe.. Nadi sounds like Molly in that respect. She is little miss independent and would rather NOT be touched unless she is panting out of concern or cold. Otherwise she wants to be in the same room as us but not too close. Our Doggos are crazy!

Fantastic use of silver

Hahaha.. I thought so. lol. 😆
