Day 54: How To Make an Ocean Table

Image
Hi Everyone... Well here is one way to keep Your Blue Mind Turned On at home! :-) Check out this video on how to make a table that looks like the ocean. It is a good first try. I think some white/beige concrete might be better...gray looks more like the lake but maybe you rather that. I think also you can play with trying to get the deep side darker blue. Maybe a divider with darker blue then take the divider out & do the lighter blue. That may just be two colors only and you might want a third for a bit of gradual darkening? Something to think about & try. I think you could also put some small shells or shell pieces on the shallow side before you put the epoxy in and hey, you could make it fun with some plastic colorful fish or a SHARK! HA! You know those kids ones! :-) Here is the full page from This Old House with directions.

Hi Everyone... Check out the Des Plaines River Water Trails for a quiet time to enjoy some water! No boats allowed! :-) There are canoe launch sites at both the northern & middle sections. Check out the link for each section all the way to where the Des Plaines River and Kankakee River meet to make the Illinois River.

Day 48: AquaSonic Concert

Hi Everyone... WOW! This is quite INTERESTING! Check out this video of music being played UNDER WATER! AquaSonic is an Under Water Concert by a group called Between Music . Now Music and Water...Even more Blue Mind???!!! :-) Although I will say some of the music seems a bit creepy (just my opinion) and made me think about the under water scenes in Harry Potter: Goblet of Fire and the "Merpeople." HA! :-)
