This tickled me today!

So its been ages ...

Why?

No reason ...

So what would you do if you could do anything?

I would, beg and plead with Tim Walker to be his assistant.

Its all about those magic numbers

So I have a competition to enter (just a general one in the are I live), nothing serious ... and I have been matching the trio's.
I have an idea of which one I will use but I am not entirely sure ...
Any ideas?









Also Today is the 11-11-11 so I am looking forward to filming a little something for the one day on earth project

Have a great Friday ...

My Halloween Costume

So here it is ... the costume that consumed my entire week last week.
I miss waking up early and going to bed late, planning and scheming and deciding which way best to continue with the next bit.
In the end it turned out better than expected and I managed to teach myself how to make a jacket from scratch albeit out of paper.



Yip, for the most part the costume was made out of paper and white thread.

There was everything from tissue paper, to crepe paper, doilies, some paper table cloths were used and some white poster paper ...

Then it was all topped off with a bit of face paint 'cest voila'.

Thanks Dave for taking instruction on how to take the photo for me :)

This 18th C character was the ghost of the paper doll called 'Paper Cuts'

Collectors are Hoarders with vision...

I don't know why these words came to mind today, but they did and I like them.

On my recent travels to Cyprus I met this 'Polis' Man in Polis. His collection was amazing but very odd all at the same time.



It reminds me, very much of this collection, the 'Polis'Man had some tortoise/ turtle shells and a number of sculls and fish skeletons in his collection too:

I collect almost everything from paper to frames, bits of ribbon, books, cameras, shoes, art equipment, glass all the way to a vast collecton of cutlery, crockery and tea cups ...What about and you? Any familiarities?

I don't suppose the collection of dirty washing next to the side of my bed really classes as a true collection but I like to think of it as a form of self expression (laziness? I hear you say :))

I like to lie to myself that hoarding is a creative past time.

Halloween: a little re-labeling

So I thought I would create a few labels for Halloween for one or so of the bottles I am guaranteed to use in the run up to 'Old Hallows Eve'.

So I thought I would share 3 of the ones I have made so far.

Each label is a re-hash I have created using photoshop.
These are for my personal use only and I have only made them as little something silly for halloween!

Cyprus, Turning 30 and House Sitting

Well the heading says it all:
I have been a bit lax with the blogging because I turned thirty in Cyprus and was away for 2 weeks. In addition since arriving back home Neil and I have been house sitting for the last two and half weeks.

So, Cyprus
This was the view from our bedroom. I have never seen a rainbow over the sea like this before, I am sure they are quite a common accurance in certain places but for me this was a little something special.

More piccies to follow soon...
