Finally....




Wow, I have finally managed to create my own website and Etsy shop:D For someone who loves using good old fashioned materials, pens, pencils, paint and paper, this is quite an achievement!


It's meant to be easy using an online site builder but the first one I tried, 123, I just couldn't get the hang of, so I switched to vista print and their process was really straightforward thankfully, even I managed it:D Can you tell how pleased with myself I am? It's 8.45 in the morning, I'm at work, and I'm grinning.

Please take a look and let me know what you think.

New pics and ideas




Ok, I have a plan! It's been a bit of a stressful time lately really, I've moved house, again, (the last place was too cold in the winter and I detest being cold), also, there is looming redundancy due to Government cuts in the public sector, my job finishes at the end of September and there's not a lot out there to take it's place.

After much reflection and procrastination (one of my key skills!), I've decided to take a part time post with a drop in wages but also finally get myself into gear and open up my etsy shop and create a website for myself in the hope of actually reaching the people out there in the big wide world that would love to buy my work. I know you're out there somewhere! I have beautiful work to offer and it will will be just right for some people, so I just need to start believing I can do it and just do it. I'm going to try at least, and not only am I going to try but I'm going to enjoy trying, I'm feeling really positive about everything despite the fact I shall be very poor for a while!

So, I'm currently sat designing my website and uploading my pics, I'm not a professional website designer so I'm using an online tool, it will be suitable for my small needs at this time, and in the future, who knows?

I'll keep you updated.

meanwhile, some more pics....



This is how the triptych looks as a whole on my wall, I do believe each piece stands on it's own too though.

My beautiful new Buddha statue in my living room, I found it in a local charity shop and I can't tell you how happy I am with it, he's just perfect:D

Detail of the Japanese Obi fabric I have hanging by the side of my window (to the right of Buddha), so pretty:D

Life-Drawing Class, Matisse Style







Here's a few pics from the life modelling I did a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of fun, I so enjoyed being in a studio environment again, it was great seeing the fantastic work the artists produced. I miss Uni so much!
I hope I get asked to model again:D
