MONDAY PHOTO OF THE WEEK

Sorry group, it's been another tough week in finding a photo to share. I have been having a lot of trouble with back pain this week so I have been pretty held up with that. I have started acupuncture treatments to try and help witch I have high hopes for. I have heard a lot of good reports from people who have had similar injuries to me with this type of treatment. I can't remember what it feels like to be normal anymore, so fingers crossed that this treatment works and gives me some relief.

Anywho, I just took a couple of shots of my craft room. I have been trying to finish off some unfinished pieces that I have lying around so I can get them up on my Etsy shop.

My very small and cluttered painting desk smooshed onto the end of our computer desk

I am looking forward to one day having a whole room to myself for my art

It's funny how much stuff you accumulate with art

I also bought myself a new pair of uggies on the weekend as it has been so cold at the moment. I love them, they are so warm and comfy!

YOU WILL BE MISSED

My heart is sad today as the world has lost two truly magnificent people.

I did not grow up with Farrah Fawcett, but I did watch her long struggle with cancer, and it broke my heart. She seemed like a wonderfully strong and caring person who inspired a lot of people.

Michael Jackson was a legend and will forever be one. I remember learning his dance routines in our lounge room with my brothers from videos of his concerts when we were little. I could never get the moon walk down pat though. I have always loved his inspiring music and his unmatchable talent.

R.I.P Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.

You will be missed.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY - DRIFTING

The word for Illustration Friday this week was drifting. I had sooo many ideas running through my head with this one, but this is what ended up coming out onto paper -

Drifting on a sea of dreams, hope and love

I am having so much fun with IF. It is great for stretching the imagination and tempting you to try new things.

Entries for my blog giveaway are still open. Everyone is welcome to enter. Good Luck!

MONDAY PHOTO OF THE WEEK

This week I have a cute picture of Alex and Annie (our budgie) together. Annie often comes and sits with us if we are watching TV or playing a game on the couch. She is a lot more social then her friend Iggy (our other budgie), but that's because we have had Annie a lot longer then Iggy so she only had Alex and I to play with for quite a while.

That white thing on Alex's knee is Annie

How sweet are they

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY - UNFOLD

This is a quick little sketch I did today for my Illustration Friday entry. I haven't had much time for my art this week as Alex is on holidays from work. Hopefully I'll do a little better next week.
