Vocabulary Lesson Appended
If you have incorporated "heather" into your vocabulary, you may want to expand your usage.

"I heathered an old painting that was just soooooooooooooooo awful and then painted this lovely thing on top of it."
addendum = half-heather, verb, \ haf-heath·er \ hahf-he-thər \ :  a partial act of heathering, usually accompanied by a sound of either distress or pleasure, made by the artist.
"I started to heather a painting that had gone terribly wrong, and realized that some of it was salvageable, so I yanked it out of the water and desperately attempted to stop the removal of all that paint."
