Cutting, pasting and a little bit of drawing...

I've got myself a part-time job (with a local community arts charity) and losing two days a week from my relaxed dog-walking, tea-drinking, email-checking lifestyle has kickstarted a bit of a creative frenzy.

I've also picked up a bit of freelance design work for another local charity - this is a mock up of the logo I did for their new Pop-Up Shop project.

Think I've just got time to have a cuppa, check my emails and walk the dog before school's out!

Squally

Wet and windy here...

Sticker frenzy..

Air drying clay village..

A glimpse of blue.

A finished project!

It's council pick up month round here so the streets are lined with piles of furniture - mostly fridges, sofas and big old TVs. It's all new to me - in the UK you just take it all to the tip yourself. Or dump it in a layby...

I've been very good and I haven't brought anything home - it's the favourite topic of conversation at the school gates at the moment - 'What have you found??' 

I've already got a shed full of furniture waiting to be transformed... like these two chairs that Mark's had for years. I always hated them and thought I'd escaped them for ever when we packed up to move. But no, they came with us..

So, I finally got out the sandpaper, a bit of polish, and some nice fabric  and voila! 

A (half) finished project! (I've still got to do the other one...)
