Well, I thought that last entry was just so out of date, I'd better do something about it...

Finished my course - did really well, with a Distinction (can't get any higher). Had a two week exhibition in a good Gallery, which was great.

Now I'm just trying to catch up with life... I spent the last 2 months constantly drawing and painting horses, and not seeing many folks, or doing anything other than think about horses, so now it will be nice to catch up. Meanwhile, I've also some new paintings planned; want to get them started this weekend.

And if you've just recived a thank you from me, and you don't know why, it's because I was going through my activity messages thinking "oh dear, I should have said thank you to (that person) months ago..." (and if I've missed you out, i apologise even more!)

(Some of my recent favourites - give them love!

Would you like a devWatch?

This came from Vilhelmina’s Journal awhile back – and I gather she got it from $Lolly. However…

The rules are simple… if you would like a devwatch, comment on this journal and add me to your devwatch list, and I will come and do the same for you!

Hopefully I may get to see some stunning work I would never have seen otherwise! and I hope to keep this up for a while.

Well hello! How's things?

I'm going to keep this relatively short, as time is a commodity I do not have much of...

Art College is going really well - I've had two assessments so far - Drawing, and Painting - and I passed really well in both of them. I have been putting in 18 hour (working) days more often and not though... (between time in college, at work, travelling back and forth, housework and homework...)
Anyhoo. Now we're on to textiles, which is something I've not done much of before. It's lead on from Collage, and I'm working on some textile pieces quite similar to my collage pieces I've posted on here. The question is, are there any artists out there I can use as contextual research for this, because so far, I'm a bit stuck! So, do you know of any textile/collage artists who use charts/poems/sea shanties/hand made papers/bright colours and-or dyes/acetate layers/free style sewing (or a mix of the above) in their work? Please, if you do, drop me a line...

And I'll get back to trying to get the cold water dye off my hands... they're very green at the moment.

Hidihi folks,

I just want to apologise for how much I have not been online - between work, family commitments, sailing commitments, and my problem laptop... it just hasn't been happening.

So if you get a couple of unexplained favourites from me, without a comment, I do apologise - I want to get through the 3000 images on my watch - and I just do not have the time for commenting every single one, or anything near that.

Hopefully, some day, I will actually have a bit more time on here...

*edit*

Got this from *inthenameof's journal, but you know the drill - the first ten to comment get a feature and of course, if you do the same onwards, that's even better

So my net gets fixed, whereupon my laptop goes... I've managed to fix it, but I don't trust it not to go again, and need my uncle or someone to work his charms on it. Ohh for an iMac!!!

So yes, if I seem not to reply, or more likely, to reply to comments, but not comment on your work, it's because at work, I can do comments, but the resolution is really really low, and I can't do anything about it - I'd be doing your work a disservice to comment on what little I can see...

Ohh dear, life does seem rather hectic.

Hopefully I'll get a new set of thumbnails up soon - instead, check out (and indeed, anybody on my watch list... )
