Today's project

Last night I went to Goblets* for the first time in about 4 years and was pleasantly surprised. It suddenly struck me that I hadn't really been out socially in anger for at least a year, so was on a mission. Unfortunately, almost everywhere I used to hang out for fun has either closed or changed beyond recognition while I wasn't looking... now THAT makes me feel old.



I made this for the other half's birthday. Quite pleased with how it came out, as block printing was an utter disaster! Feels very odd to be actually having time to do stuff again after spending 7 days a week staring at my thesis. Still have to get the damn thing printed though, and STILL waiting for my supervisor to acknowledge reciept of the pdf I sent him of the final draft on Weds. Oh well, plus ca change etc etc.

Um yeah and these too

Yesterday I had to go to Mum's to clear out a bunch of stuff I had forgotten I'd left there: all of my college notes as it turned out. She gave me a pile of revolting discoloured and stained satin padded pictures of deformed bunnies and deer that she'd been saving to use the metal frames. I thought I ought to treat them as they deserved, ripped the nasty acetate satin and foam out and doodled some beetles to go in them. Here are the first 3 (the smallest is about 2" along the long axis).
