An unfinished face

 

My newest painted face. A work in progress, but I thought I would take some photos in case I overworked it.

Bits and bobs of inspiration on a dreary Monday

Some postcards my mum found when sorting through boxes of old treasures. The middle one scanned strangely as it is actually holographic.

A card for my 5th birthday, given to me by my Nana.

Sneaky sneaky dog friends.

A toast to toast

I had a nice weekend in town with Quinn. On Friday night we went with some friends to see Olmecha Supreme play at The Garden Club. The band was great and it was a good opportunity for us to pull out all of our best dance moves.

On Saturday we ate lots of toast (mmm toast) and played Super Smash Bros Brawl on Quinn's Nintendo.

Sketchbook

I spent a large portion of this morning cutting some of my favourite drawing paper into A5 sheets, to become a little sketchbook. I will get the pages spiral-bound tomorrow hopefully.

Below is an unfinished drawing I have started working on.

Pool times

I am just back from the Monday night aqua aerobics class that I attend with Mum. Sadly aqua aerobics does not leave me looking nearly as glamorous as the three beauties in the picture above.

I look (or at least feel) more like a floundering sea turtle with panda eye-makeup.

It is fun though, and a nice opportunity to spend some time with mum (and hopefully burn off a few more kilos in the process!).
