Oh no!

Randomly came across an artist called Barbara Gilhooly today who is doing really similar work to the stuff I am doing for my commission....only hers is so much better than mine! Dammit! It is so hard to think of stuff that hasn't been done before.....

Really like some of her stuff though.....




I even like her paintings.



Cow.

(If you have randomly stumbled across this post Barbara, OF COURSE you are not a cow. I'm just really rather jelous of your work. Its a compliment!)

52 Challenges

Along with my word for the year, I set myself 52 challenges to complete. Some easy, some hard. I might post about them in another entry.

One of my challenges is to once and for all learn how to park my car anywhere I need to. I think I am a good driver. Rubbish parker though. I look to this man for inspiration.

Spooky stuff. Wow!

Not a lot of words

My new year so far has been full and quite creative, I want to post, but I am tired and feeling a little overwhelmed and just ever so slightly grumpy. So, in the place of words, here are some pictures. In no particular order, and with no intended meanings, although can you tell what my new obsession is?

Guerilla....................

Terror.................................
(I lost the link to this one, so apologies to whomever images it is, it was just too delicious not to share)

Child cruelty............................

Knitting take two.....

I have recently got back into knitting, after a bit of a false start a couple of years ago

This time it has rather grabbed me by the.....er...... purls?

It helps enormously that I have joined a knitting group, which has totally fired up my knitting motor.....

I am not sure as of yet what kind of a knitter I am going to be. I find it kind of therapeutic really, and quite enjoy the monotony of the repetition. I am told this WILL get boring. I am not sure I will truely get into patterns though, as my brain is already turning to thoughts of knitting with all sorts of strange materials and combining knitting somehow with my artwork. Saying that, I LOVE hats and would really like to learn to make some!

So time will tell where this will lead, but already it feels more than just another soon to be forgotten about dabble.....

I am currently knitting an enormous scarf on massive needles with big fat wool. Talking about it here is making me miss it, so back I go......
