<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been home from work now for nearly three months - and it has been wonderful...!<br />I've drawn, painted, had an amazing time with my family, my dogs and my hens - not been this happy in years and why..? Because my Husband was made redundant :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know this sounds odd, to the point of madness, but all of our married life he has worked either abroad or on rotating shifts - both of which kept us apart for long periods.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There weer many years where I was like a one-parent family and yes - I managed - I even quite enjoyed the autonomy to a degree but it's a very lonely existence when your mate isn't around and when he is - he's asleep!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So yep! I'm happy he's home - we're 65 - it's about time he retired anyhow!<br />The only downer is the money :( </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Clearly, he won't be earning but it won't be the first time we've been thrifty :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In fact, now we both have our pensions, we've never been so well off - we've spent a lifetime juggling bills - four kids is an expensive hobby!<br /><br />So, in this time, I've gone right back to my arty roots.<br /><br />It's what I should have been doing from the beginning but in our day, the woman nearly always gave up one of the 'e's in her career and became a 'carer' to the children and family. She was still expected to work - oh yes my generation were the meat in the sandwich - no importance or respect in the workplace but expected to do everything as good as any man for half the wage.<br /><br />So I worked in shops and I did childminding - anything I could get to be home with the children from school and with four, it was a long 12 years of juggling before going to work in Estate Agency on a more formal footing. 20 years of that! And still I looked after the house and shopping and family and even became Mum's Taxi to them (OH doesn't drive). I was also roadie for my son's band for several years - at the same time as working full time!<br /><br />Is it any wonder so many women fall foul to Fibromyalgia, ME, Lupus and all the other chronic pain illnesses?<br /><br />I did. I developed Fibro. One nasty customer that.<br />Not going into detail about it - I'm in remission at the minute and don't want to give that awful, horrible, death-would-be-a-release time, any more thought than I have to.<br /><br />But suffice it to say, by the time I got my remission, I was in bad financial state as my Doctor 'didn't believe in' Fibromyalgia, so I got not one single penny in sick pay.......<br /><br />So I had to start a new career, as the age of 62 in the Civil Service. I was lucky to get in at my age - I know that - but it still wasn't my field of choice.<br /><br />But I have four wonderful children and two of my sons gave me the means and the inspiration to paint and draw again.<br /><br />I'd never actually stopped - I'd drawn digistamps for a good few years for people and always made time for crafting but I'd not actually painted for years when my son Michael bought a new flat.<br /><br />'Mum, ' he said 'I wan't you to do me a painting of the Liverpool Waterfront for my flat' and gave me specifics.<br />'Mike, ' I answered 'I haven't painted for 30 years.... ;) !'<br />'So?' he said, matter-of factly 'it's like riding a bike - you don't forget....' :O!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Voila, my first acrylic painting on canvas for over 30 years :)</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay - it's not JMW Turner but not bad for an old lady after such a long time.. ;)<br />The point being - Mike loves it - it's now hanging in his new house and it was this that got me back into my artwork - thank you so much Michael :)</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are a few samples of what I've been doing and if you would like to see more, I heartily suggest you join Facebook as there is so much of interest on there - not just my humble stuff, but REALLY talented people and their work. <br />There are tutorials and courses and all kinds of things - it's not just gossip and pictures of peoples' dinners ;)<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/229763807230272/ and<br />https://www.facebook.com/EiglasHandmades/.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't believe it is March already! :O<br />I haven't had time for much artwork as I am now back at work and time just seems to evaporate, either at work, recovering from work, preparing to go to work or flippin' house-work...!<br /><br />My poor Hubby has had an operation on his leg, so I have taken a week off to look after him and, tbh, I'm really enjoying our time together and doing stuff for him.<br /><br />He's very much a caveman and likes to do things himself (except cooking and washing - I try to keep him away from those things cos he's lethal!) so I'e been a proper 1950's wifey this week fetching and carrying for him and, as a novelty, it's been very enjoyable but he'd better not expect the same service next week... ;) lol!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I have time to update my neglected blog. :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ih5aHSupN-s/WMrWxmnl_6I/AAAAAAAAFuc/NPjwuZPREPstafLWO4gRjNoC23-srfXRgCLcB/s1600/Eye%2Bstudy%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ih5aHSupN-s/WMrWxmnl_6I/AAAAAAAAFuc/NPjwuZPREPstafLWO4gRjNoC23-srfXRgCLcB/s320/Eye%2Bstudy%2B1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like I say, not had much creative time on my hands but been doing some exercises to brush up on techniques. This one was for pastels. Never been much good with pastels as I'm too messy with them but following this tutorial I found online, I created this, which i was quite pleased with.<br /><br />The tut wasn't anything unusual - just the way I would have gone about the exercise anyway but by verbalizing my instinctual procedure it did give me more focus.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Still not a huge fan of pastels but perhaps I'll try another subject later.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But doing this exercise made me want to try with coloured pencil.<br /><br />I didn't want to do an eye full of make up and false lashes - I can do those in my sleep . I wanted to do an older person's eye, with all the creases and blemishes but couldn't find a photo ref online that was copyright free.<br />So I photographed my own peeper! :) </span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well - goodbye 2016 and hello 2017 - let's hope 2017 is a little kinder than 2016 was, especially to our musicians and performers!<br /><br />My New Year Resolution? Not got one. But I've decided not to do any more shows. They cost a fortune to attend, you have all the humping of stuff there and back and unless you carry items for £10 or less, you sell very little.<br /><br />I did about eight shows in all last year - costing over £60.00 a time, counting petrol but not the cost of making my prints and framing them, and I sold very few items and those all in the first two shows.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, no more - I'm too old and it takes it out of me way too much. But at least I can say I tried!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I guess I'm still a hobbyist although should anyone knock on my door I won't say no... ;) lol!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm a big animal fan (you may have noticed... ;) ) and I'm very happy to say that my Fox drawings have been very popular in a particular Fox-welfare charity auction!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />I've sold two prints and a tote bag featuring foxes with 100% of the £25.00 each time going to the National Fox Welfare Society and i have another two waiting to be featured in the January Auction. It makes me very happy if I can drum up these funds to help treat and save these beautiful, abused creatures.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are the images that sold at the auction. Sorry about the resolution and watermarking - spoils the images somewhat but you can blame the thieves for that.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why should honest people pay out £25.00 and another, dishonest thief just take any image they like?<br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The NFWS are brilliant - they will supply free treatment for mange and other issues and will trap and transport any injured or sick fox to a vet for treatment and it's all voluntary.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've been stupidly busy the last few weeks with one thing and another - I think it's called 'life' or something...but I've been busting to paint something all the while I've been stuck with 'real life', so today I did something about it.<br /><br />I've always messed about with inks (as you can see if you scroll into my archives or look up techniques) and I've always loved the photographs from the Hubble telescope so I think this popping out of my brush might be something to do with that!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I call it 'Nova' - it's just a work in progress at the mo - and it's mainly acrylics on canvas (48 x 48 cm) but with some multi-media thrown into the mix. </span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did this tonight whilst watching Casualty.<br />Polychromos and Prisma coloured pencils on Fabriano paper.<br /><br />It occurred to me that of my pets, my cats are the only ones I haven't drawn and as Tabby was the most recent (sadly passed to Rainbow several years ago now aged about 20) and I found her pic first, I did her.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was only a quick one - about two hours worth - and probably would have been even better if I'd not been watching tv at the same time... :D !</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I did enjoy it and tried out new paper and some new pencils too !</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Up in the loft, I found this little sketch I did of my brother Brian when I was about 15 from an old baby pic of his! :D</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And then I did get around to trying to paint. A friend saw a watercolour of mine and challenged me to paint it in oils. I didn't do the same one but I did this instead! My first oil painting! I tried 40 odd years ago and didn't get on with the medium but seem to have got the hang of it more now.</span></div>

Some are meant to be just digis as the recipients wished to shade and colour them themselves and some are more detailed. I've not done much in the way of colour portraits - that's something I'd like to try when I have time.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">I'll add to this as I get time and find odds and ends on my pc!<br /><br />I'd just like to add that these are genuine hand-drawings from photographs - not software-manipulated photographs, like I have seen being passed off as drawings on a couple of sites! I draw from the photograph in pencil, then I draw again over in pen and erase the pencil (or not, depending on the project). </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">At this point I do scan the drawing into my pc and 'pixel-clean' it to remove smudges (yes - I'm a messy worker! ;) ) and artifacts left from the eraser.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">At this stage, if required, I can sometimes digitally paint some of the shading in. I'm only just learning to do this as I'm not very technical (as you can tell from my method! lol!) and I just don't have the tablet-drawing skills to draw straight to tablet - wish i could! I do admire (and somewhat envy!) the likes of Mo Manning and other digi artists who can! I'm never sure if it's my skill lacking or just my very basic tablet!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Hope you all like them! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Hugs </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Ei</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #6c82b5; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">x</span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are at the Artisan's Market again - but at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ArtisansAtCroxtethHall">Croxteth Hall Park</a>, Liverpool this time!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a huge event at this venue so I'm hoping we will do very well!<br /><br />The last one was great fun and I did sell a few items too - always a bonus ! </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one is in the house and grounds of a Stately Home - and it's very beautiful. I struck lucky and have secured an inside spot so the weather won't matter so much.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a few more items this week - one or two dragons!<br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Please come and say hello if you are local and can drop in. </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hugs</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...at the Artisan's Market at The Palm House, Sefton Park, Liverpool on Saturday and Sunday! It was really enjoyable and I managed to cover my costs for the tables , so I'm a happy bunny!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A small profit would have been nice but not even made a dent in the costs of materials yet! But it was fun and I'm going to book the May one at Croxteth Hall Park too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Saturday my stall looked like this.....</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">....and Sunday, like this.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had a super time - the other stall-holders were lovely and friendly and knowing I'd never done a similar event before, were also kind and helpful with advice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was an amazing collection of skill and talent there - every stall was different and each were unique.<br /><br />I didn't get a lot of time to go round them - just a quick squizz and I wish I had taken more photos to show but I'll know for next time.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was surprisingly sunny on Saturday morning, tempting me to just have on my Eiglas tee-shirt but I was proved to be very mistaken as with lunchtime came the Baltic cold and pouring down rain! </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well - I am as ready as I will ever be! :O It's been a marathon of getting prints done, mounting them (what a job that is! :O) and framing them (I think I bankrupted Ikea... ;) )</span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been invited to take a table at this prestigious Artisan Market!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a lovely (if daunting...!) turn of events as I'm not sure I have enough work to sell there at the present - I'm off to my printers this afternoon to order some prints of my paintings!<br /><br />Scarey or what! :O</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I need to do this - I need to rake the plunge and see if those people who say such nice things about my work, actually put their money where their mouths are! I sincerely hope they do or I'm in for an expensive time! lol!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.theartisannetwork.co.uk/">http://www.theartisannetwork.co.uk/ </a> is the link and it's on 9th & 10th of April at the Palm House in Sefton Park in Liverpool.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a beautiful setting and there will be lots of other things there, foods - both ethnic and plain good English - and so much more - best look on the link for all the scrummy things that have been there in previous years.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope to sell at least a couple of paintings or prints, to at least pay for the day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm heartened by the swift sale of my last three paintings , which sold on first airing - I wasn't even trying to sell them! May their sisters, brothers and offspring follow suit!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just finished my latest Liverpool Waterfront so prints of that will be available on the day.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Officially terrified now.......</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Been so busy with family and work the last few months, not had much time to craft but what I have found is my interest turning back to my Art roots.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've always loved to paint and draw but never had much confidence in it but my recent forays into oil painting has re-kindled my interest in trying to make art I'm more confident with.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I live in a city, so not much landscaping to paint you would think but to be honest, that's not strictly true.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Liverpool might be a city but she is an interesting and very beautiful one and I've taken to painting the waterfront since my son Michael asked me to paint it for his own home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1YphaZdlFeA/VvPuUyqkmzI/AAAAAAAAFlI/oJpfPX_xQBgDBHzeJyopqBpYPCH4VtM9Q/s1600/Liverpool%2BCityscape%2Bwatermarked%2Bsml.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="131" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1YphaZdlFeA/VvPuUyqkmzI/AAAAAAAAFlI/oJpfPX_xQBgDBHzeJyopqBpYPCH4VtM9Q/s400/Liverpool%2BCityscape%2Bwatermarked%2Bsml.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was the first ever waterfront painting I did and it took me a couple of weeks as I was restricted to the conservatory where it can be extremes of heat and cold and light and dark.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I didn't really do much more in the way of painting for a while but was challenged by a friend to try oil-painting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Now, I've not used oils for over 45 years - I didn't make good job of them - or so I thought - so in the box they remained. <br /><br />Those same oils came back out the box for an airing! lol! 45 years old!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was quite chuffed with this for a first attempt, especially with elderly oils!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had paint left on my pallette I didn't want to waste so I also popped this one out....</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">....and by this time I was hooked.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't have a lot of spare time, between my family, my hens, my dogs and my job but what time I do have, I'm almost always drawing or something.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was then asked by a neighbour to paint a special Liverpool scene for their nephew's 'special' birthday (40 I think!) but I had only 2 weeks from request to delivery! Aaaarrrrghhh...!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cost a lot to frame as the Bockingford landscape pad I used was not a standard frame size but my neighbours were ecstatic with it so all was well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But I thought that acrylics would possibly give a different result so in the next couple of weeks I did this one.....</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Somebody on my Facebook page immediately asked to buy it but has yet to pick it up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the next weeks, my imagination was piqued every time I saw a photo of my city - I wanted to paint them all! It's amazing how the same view is transformed indefatigueably by light conditions! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was also, during this time, experimenting with coloured pencils, a medium I'd not really used since school, once again thinking I was no good with them, but I discovered the amazing world of Prismacolour and Polychromo coloured pencils - an entirely different animal to school or Crayola! Not that Crayola aren't good for what they cost - they are indeed but it's worth spending out on the better quality pencils.</span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love big cats and have drawn a couple in the past but not in coloured pencils, so I had a go with my new 'posh' ones....</span></div>

<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been a little shocked today.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I came back over to update and to perhaps add a few bits and whilst I was here thought I'd have a look-see at the blog-challenges to see if I fancied joining in one.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most of them are gone! :O</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was a thriving challenge site not so long ago and unless there are a pile of new ones I know nothing about, certainly most of the ones in my side-bar (now removed) have gone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what do peeps now do for challenges?</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The couple that have, possibly, survived are now 'invitation only'...? What's that all about?</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh well, nowt I can do about that now - if anyone knows where to find any new ones - please just leave a reply in 'comments'.!</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a couple of recent bits that I didn't get time for yesterday.</span><br />

<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...to speak of after all...!<br /><br />What a miserable summer we've had...!<br />About five days of sunshine - and those not all together! :(</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Still, the garden has thrived with the rain and the chicken poo so can't complain... ;)</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Been very busy this summer - between my new job and the chooks, and my volunteer work at Marie Curie - doesn't leave much 'spare' time for my crafts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I've managed a few new projects and I'm please how my drawings are coming on.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Up until now, I've tended to draw in black ink, as most peeps want to colour them themselves but I've coloured a few myself and enjoyed doing them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My chooks have has an effect... lol!</span><br />

<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My friend Teri Sherman had her first book published - a collection of Gothic colouring pages! It's on Amazon now at <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gothic-Halloween-Scary-Adult-Coloring/dp/1941325440/ref=zg_bsnr_11357541011_42">http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gothic-Halloween-Scary-Adult-Coloring/dp/1941325440/ref=zg_bsnr_11357541011_42</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">so if you love colouring and like the more Gothic style of drawing get yourself over there! </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've also been making some digi-style drawings. Most of you will know - I'm not over-keen on the dysmorphic big-eyed girls which have been so popular in recent years - I really son't get the attraction of them and certainly don't have anyone on my card-list that would appreciate them so I draw slightly more realistic ladies - still in a graphic form but more 'normal'.</span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, summer is here... allegedly.... lol! So I've been in my garden playing with my chooks and also in mud!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The chooks destroyed my pretty garden last year and so I've been busy, with my lovely Hubby, Nic, re-planting it.<br /><br />I didn't think to take 'before' pics - but trust me - it looked like the Somme without the charm! Nothing green was left!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After several weeks of hard work it's starting to look something like a garden again.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Something I've wanted to do for months has gone and hooked me right up - Fairy Gardens!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had quite a few casualties in the patio planter department but the broken pots were quite pretty ones so I was wanting to try to use them in a different way.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I did this..... ;)</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm quite chuffed with all of them actually - especially the first one as I'd never done anything like it before and because I could keep my Mum's teapot, which got broken only a couple of months ago...</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My 7 year old Granddaughter helped make the second one - she has a very artistic eye and made some lovely suggestions - I need to find a different pant for it though - not sure the Busy Lizzie is quite right in there!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Number three has a cheeky terracotta Robin on a nest - it became broken in the frost last year but i didn't want to throw her out and I'm glad I didn't - see - hoarding comes in useful sometimes! :D</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Number four has a little house on it - and a little dish for a 'pond'! There are some fossils in there too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have more sherds so there may be more to come!<br /><br />My little garden so far.....</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the last few months, I've receded a little from crafting and gone back more to my Art roots. I began to find making cards than no-one really wanted a bit pointless and began making more drawings and paintings.<br />I still make the odd card for family or friends but, to be honest, don't get the buzz from them I used to get.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, I thought I'd update my blog with some of the art I've been making - mainly Pet Portraits.<br /><br />So I made a new page and put all this stuff on but the page isn't showing in the tabs! :( So I've just copied and pasted to here instead.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I apologize in advance for the watermarks - I've had a few of my drawings stolen and don't know any other way of making it difficult for thieves.</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This list isn't exhaustive but it is a substantial representation of what I've been doing. Some are meant to be just digis as the recipients wished to shade and colour them themselves and some are more detailed. I've not done much in the way of colour portraits - that's something I'd like to try when I have time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll add to this as I get time and find odds and ends on my pc!<br /><br />I'd just like to add that these are genuine hand-drawings from photographs - not software-manipulated photographs, like I have seen being passed off as drawings on a couple of sites! I draw from the photograph in pencil, then I draw again over in pen and erase the pencil (or not, depending on the project). </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At this point I do scan the drawing into my pc and 'pixel-clean' it to remove smudges (yes - I'm a messy worker! ;) ) and artifacts left from the eraser.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At this stage, if required, I can sometimes digitally paint some of the shading in. I'm only just learning to do this as I'm not very technical (as you can tell from my method! lol!) and I just don't have the tablet-drawing skills to draw straight to tablet - wish i could! I do admire (and somewhat envy!) the likes of Mo Manning and other digi artists who can! I'm never sure if it's my skill lacking or just my very basic tablet!</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hope you all like them! </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hugs </span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cannot believe how fast this year is disappearing! Far too quickly for my liking - I can tell you!<br /><br />Not crafted much at all this year due to new job but I have done a few Pet Portraits for friends.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first one is Buster who belonged to a friend of a friend and is much missed, so my friend asked me to draw him for her friend.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is my dog Kerry from about 40 years ago. She was, as you can see, and Afghan and very beautiful but she was also the sweetest natured dog I ever knew. I still miss her</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then there is Joe, one of the sweetest Staffies on the planet. I drew him for his Mummy - my friend Gail, when he passed away.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">....is very welcome (Need the pennies!) but BOY, is it getting in the way of my creativity! :(</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Only five hours a day, but that is pretty much all of my spare time (if you don't count sleeping and I don't do enough of that as it is) so I'm afraid my crafting has had to take a back seat!.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not that I've done nothing, mind you, but not much in the way of cards - I even BOUGHT my Hubby's Valentine card (...oh, the shame...!)...!</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My continuing creativity has turned more to my drawing and painting and I've had a few peeps ask for Pet Portraits so I've been doing more of that,</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Never used soft pastels before - well not since school anyway - far too messy for me! But I acquires a set of pastel PENCILS and these are much more controllable and less messy<br /><br />My Lola was snoozing on the couch so she was my first (and only so far) pastel victim! :D I was quite happy with the result though - I've never managed a discernable likeness with pastel before!</span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was the first Liver Bird I did in 2011. A friend wanted a Liver Bird for a badge but all the drawings she found were copyrighted (...duhhhh...! Obvs!) so she asked me to draw one for her and this was it. Another Daddy Liver Bird it would seem (although I haven't detailed his feathers)!</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not been around for quite some time in blogland.<br />Was a busy, busy second half of 2014 in one way and another and I didn't get very much time to craft (or anything else for that matter!) for months.<br /><br />I just about managed 70 Christmas cards for my daughter's charity drive in work and a few last-minute requests for bereavement and birthday cards for friends and family as I now have a job! </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, that's right - a real, paying job!<br /><br />At my age I was made up to have got as far as interview but didn't expect anything to come of it, so when I got the e-mail telling me to start I was a bit shocked, to say the least!<br /><br />So my week goes a bit like this....</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monday - up at dawn with hens to feed them and poo-pick and get any eggs. 7:30 - 8:00 grandson Toby arrives for the day with Nanny and stays until about 4:30 - 5:00pm depending on Mummy & Daddy's work.<br /><br />Nic gets up about 1:00pm (he's a shift-worker) to take over with Toby for a couple of hours whilst I get ready for work, make dinner in the slow-cooker and tidy up a bit, and get my head down for 40 winks before feeding the hens again at 3:30pm then leaving at 5:00pm to go to work. I get back about 10:00.<br /><br />Tuesday is easier - no Toby - but similar as I still have the hens and housework and washing and the rest of the usual stuff to do instead of playing with my favourite little playmate!<br /><br />Wednesday - still up with hens (every day) but off to work in the charity shop for a couple of hours before going to my 'proper' job at 5:00pm. If Nic's home and up, he gives the hens their supper if not I get home in time to do it before going to 'work'.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thursday - same as Tuesday. Usually Nic has a day off somewhere, so we end up going shopping somewhere or we give the chicken run/corral a good clean out.<br /><br />Friday is the same as Tuesday and I can usually get a bit of time to myself as most of the chores are done by now.<br /><br />Saturday is pj day. Nic is usually in bed until about 4:00 as been on nights on the Friday and it's too much hassle trying to get dressed in the dark without waking him. So it's the dogs, the hens and me until he gets up.<br /><br />Sunday is usually family visit day - either Rob & Dan bring Elvie or, if Nic is up to it, we go there.<br /><br />This is all very basic - the kids visit most days in the week and there is always other stuff to be done so, you see, crafting has been somewhat on a back burner as has blogging!<br /><br />Not made anything to be proud of for months - the Christmas cards I made were quite ordinary - even Nic's! I think I lost my mojo somewhere in my chaotic craft-room - and that's my next job before I go back to work!<br /><br />Hugs and best wishes for 2015</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It rained. And it rained. And then it THREW IT DOWN!<br /><br />I poured down from the minute we got there at 9:30am until about 2:30 - 3:00pm.<br /><br />My gazebo has a cover but it doesn't have sides, so when the rain decided to come SIDEWAYS.......!<br /><br />Disastrous. Everything was getting soaked and my table-cloths were sodden so we had to re-group.<br /><br />Fortunately, we had a very good friend with us. A District Commissioner of Scouts for whom camping on a muddy field in the lashing down rain is meat and drink!<br /><br />And my amazing Hubby had a brainwave too - he took himself off to the local pound shop and bought some of those see-through plastic dust sheets you use when decorating and attached them to the sides of the gazebo so the damage was limited.<br /><br />In the end, I didn't get anything out except my Pet Portraits, which are behind glass and a few of my cards, which are in poly bags.<br /><br />We did not take one single penny all day. As it was all going to be for the dog charities, that was a blow.<br /><br />It was very demoralizing ....until my Lola won a third in the 'Prettiest Bitch' category! :D </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who is the MUMMY then....!<br /><br />I'll add piccies later as Nic has gone over to see his Mumsy and taken the camera with him.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a line to apologize for no new posts and crafty stuff - I've been making like a Trojan but not had time to photograph - I will do so when I get time but all hands to the pumps making stock for the dog-show on Saturday at the mo!</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I spent Friday afternoon setting up some of it on tables in my garden - just to check there would be enough room for display. All was well and I'll tweak the actual presentation in the next day or two and add some more dog-cards.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Got lots of other stuff too - just have to work on the display - if it's windy like it was in my garden, I shall need glue-dots! </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of this stuff was either made by me or renovated by me, so quite a lot of work involved.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really hope we do well - I so want to make a donation to these two wonderful charities.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See you all again - hopefully in the normal way! - very soon! </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hugs Ei x</span><br />
