rook watercolour

rook watercolour, originally uploaded by daydreamsnightwalks.

sorry its been a while since my last post just been too busy with work and everything x

my rook painting is finished just gotta get it framed and mounted, its at the printers tonight (hate leaving it with strangers makes me feel sick to my stomach that somethings gonna happen to it), will have prints up in my empty etsy shop soon x (fingers crossed i get them back tomorrow and everything is peachy)

Present Presence Presents

We didn't do many exciting things today really as we got up extremely late and appeared to be sleeping on a rubbish heap and it really needed to be cleared, but we managed to put up one of my xmas presents in its temporary home above our bed (bit scared it might fall down but we gave it an earthquake test jumping and shaking everything around it and it seems ok) really cant wait to decorate them next xmas, would like to put some old taxidermy birds up in them soon though, gotta keep an eye out for some good ones.

oh and i did some more painting on one i just started for Jordan's birthday, its of a rook about to fly from its perch, he's just starting to come alive as i paint even though there are many layers to go im quite happy with him so far. Dont know why its taken me so long to start being happy about my paintings i dont think i could ever stop painting again, i love just having something there im working on and i can go to and be in my little bubble, its definitely a form of meditation that works for me.

you cant really see the amount of detail i put in (i use an 00 watercolour brush and paint every little pore and hair) my camera is just a digital harinezumi 2 that i use at the moment im hoping to save up enough money to buy myself a "proper" digital camera as i have way too many toy cameras around (just love them all so much) tomorrow i will probably work more on my jewelry making as i have many many crystal points to turn into pendants for my etsy shop and have been meaning too for a while now.
