I decided to go to Shreveport for a birding event at the end of last week. Over the weekend and while I was away our dog passed away. She was old and had been declining but not sick. Thankfully she passed peacefully although somewhat unexpected. Anyway I’m a bit overwhelmed. I still didn’t get to making the rough paint yet. I went ahead and put the binder in the refrigerator. It looked like it had turned a little darker so I opened it to smell it and it didn’t smell sour, smelled like honey. I should be able to test it today or tomorrow and I hope it’s still good. I still have the small packet of gum arabic but I may go ahead and order some more from you since I see it in your shop.
