i think the cats are fed up with the camera

an early night is called for

i MUST get to see Yoko Ono's ladder exhibition in the bombed out church in liverpool

sid is trying to teach me a specific neck scratching technique at the moment - i think he needs his claws clipping.

kitchen, ferries and stuff

Just another manic monday

mind you I spent the morning in bed recovering from my weekend

how very civilised

will do more research and printing of my artists stuff now, didnt take my camera to work as I was running late

will have a fish through my back catalogue

You never know

still seeing double

Tired and have to shift the cats off the duvet before I can go to bed

but first I'll have a cup of tea

do my pix

cats, liverpool and one of my textile pieces from last year

Aint no sunshine when he's gone

Don't seem to be able to get away from the ferries, sometimes things work out if you just stand aside and let life get on with itself.

And I've had a Eureka moment too on how to link Man Ray into it all.

as I've said before I won't bore you with the details

best get the pix on and get ready for Saturday night :)

Week 3 at College

Chose my artists, or they were selected for me,somehow....

Anyways, it is Man Ray, Elsa Schiaparelli,Grieg and Ibsen.

So far, things could change but it's a start. :)

As I parked my car at college a flock of wild geese flew overhead, calling.

tHE WEATHER IS GOOD AT THE MOMENT

oops caps lock but i like it

certifiable and I should stop now

where the seabirds come to nest

life goes on day after day
dreams start slipping away

and so to bed

No pix today...sorry
late night and really need my sleep

Liverpool docks

Well only tuesday and running out of time already - need to do some artist reseach from the list our tutor gave us, so will do that later after my muse has paid a visit. Also need to check out the pictures I will post tonight. I still cannot get the hang of arranging them in my postings.

Might write at greater length too, as one of my old school reports directed me. Can't accuse me of not thinking things through fully(!).

There that's put the blockers on it now.

Am really tempted to do my project on Liverpool, maybe the ferries or old haunts of mine.

That TV programme of Joanna Lumley in the Arctic has really inspired me though. The Vikings, Norway and Grieg, Ibsen and the lights. Wow.....

Plus my 3D piece reminded me of a Viking longboat so there is continuity.

Crisis over

Hi

More from the pool - trying to set an achievable pace so won't be too much text until there is something useful to say - these ones are

Marine Lake West Kirby

God what a day! I won't bore you with the details (although he is there)(allegededly). Well best upload (:)) some more piccies,

The Cats

Well took me an age to transfer my photos last night so I better get the cats on today before I run out of time. Finding the blog format a little tricky to get used to but will persevere.

Suki and Sid are both 12 years old. Sid is black and white. Su is the grey lady.

Week 1

We went over last years project before the morning break - some of the girls sketchbooks went missing from the staff room after the exhibition.

After the break we discussed the next project "People and Places" and what we'd done over the summer (ha!) break.

After lunch some drawing exercises.

First we had to draw our house from the front by memory.

my babies

For the past ten years or so I have been part of a small cat community being one of the lower ranking in the hierarchy. I am now fairly well trained in all aspects of cat maintenance. Fully proficient in sourcing specialized produce and trained in litter cleanliness procedures. Choosing two rescue cats who were also litter mates was a conscious decision as I had seen two brother cats working as an amazing tag team together - I promised myself I would get two litter mates, 

They are so absolutely gorgeous together and so different in personality I feel blessed to have such sweet natured friends to share my daily existence with ,......... see I am lost............and they teach me so much as they accept me as a bit of a slow learner (in the cat world that is).......
