Unusual street art

Seen in town today

Coming soon...

Studio so far

 

It's great having space to move!

 

At the minute my stuff is rattling around in it a bit, but once I have shelves I can bring the rest of my files and books and art materials. 

I plan to replace the computer desk with a big drawing table along that wall.

It's quite strange, after working from home for 11 years!

How blind people see the world

Apparently, in one study, when blind children were asked to draw a tree, they drew the trunk as a circle. Logical, when you think of it.

A useful thing to know

If you are wanting to use a template to cut circles out of cardboard/paper, a CD is the perfect size to get three circles out of an A4 sheet. Place two circles right in the corners of one long side, and a third in the middle of the other long side.

But, as I told the children yesterday: only do this with an old, unwanted CD, and never with one that belongs to someone else (just in case your pencil slips...)

Studio

I have a studio!
Look!

Paid my deposit and got my keys today.
Will look a bit different when it has another desk, computer, shelves, and one or two books...

View from the window:

Fishy

I was having to draw some 'How To' instructions for making a CD fish mobile, so I made one to check they worked OK. Sometimes my work is fun!

If you want to make one yourself, there are a number of versions on the internet this is a good one, though the knot in the thread isn't necessary. I just used ordinary sewing thread. Make sure you use really small pleats for the centre fin, or you'll have to redo it - as I did.
