It's been a crazy couple of years, I emigrated with my family to the US, stressful, but well worth it. Since moving here, I finally got myself out of my digital doldrums and started playing with acrylics. I've posted up photos of my first pieces, I may scan and upload proper prints later. I'm still experimenting, I haven't touched paint since high school, and that was a LONG time ago and even back then, I wasn't confident with it, preferring pastel, charcoal and pencil instead. I don't know why, but suddenly I have loads of ideas that i want to get down, so I have a little notebook that is rapidly filling with rough sketches as images pop into my head. Maybe the dreaded menopause has unblocked something in my head, I don't know for sure, but I am very happy with what is currently falling out of my brain, at least on a creative level. Anyway, it's nice to be back. I have my 5th piece sat on my easel and roughed out. I'm going to move onto proper canvases instead of crappy acrylic paper once I've got my confidence up, at that time I'll probably revisit a few of these practice works and see how I get on... :)

It's been almost a year since I've done anything arty!!!

Well not strictly true, I've been doing a lot of knitting and crochet, so at least that's something :)

I started this one months ago but never got around to finishing it. I plan on having an arty week but I want to finish all the stuff I've neglected first.

I lost all desire to be creative throughout the summer and early autumn, so much of my life was dedicated to the practical, the final touches in the renovation of my home. The last week I've felt a little tickling in my brain, you know the one, the itch that means you simply have to make something, anything.

So, I've started a couple of wallpapers, the first of which I'll upload in the morning.

My next big thing is my zombie costume and make-up for our party in two weeks... wheeee :D

So I just found the ftp option for subscribed users, that WILL make uploading a lot quicker and easier :)

I'm in a good mood today, I have tracked down 2 more artists that inspire me who I haven't spoken to in far too long, now I stalk them and see what they've been up to *cackle*

Uploaded a pile of photos today, I hope someone somewhere gets some pleasure from some of them :)

Another day, another skin, I keep thinking I should work out how to make my own, but I'm enjoying everyone elses too much.
