Since posting these on my Red Bubble site http://www.redbubble.com/people/utam I have had a lot of favourable comments. Both have been featured in certain groups and a lot of people have put them on their favourites list. Wasn't sure how a bunch of old advertising poster pieces would be perceived hehehe. I had fun collecting them and fun creating with them and people enjoy them. What more can a girl want???

So Much To Do

My daughter took photos of my work yesterday so I can put better quality images onto my Red Bubble site. http://www.redbubble.com/people/utam Julia is a professional photographer so her camera is so much better than my point and shoot. The better the quality the images the more variety of reproductions can be sold on Red Bubble. Anyway now I have to crop all the photos and enhance the brightness/contrast etc. on photoshop and then put all the new images onto Red Bubble. Still haven't finished a painting that's been sitting on my easel for some time now, have to work on my exhibition invitations, start altering the board books I bought the other day, buy a new canvas for the painting that's swimming around in my head and above all I must do the washing today. Luckily I cooked up a large pot of chicken vegetable soup yesterday so dinner is taken care of. Means I can work right through. Only stopping to eat and watch Sunday Arts on tv this afternoon.

Its Finally Cold and Wet

The sky is all gloomy, its raining and its chilly. Its the kind of day you just want to stay indoors and drink hot chocolate and do artwork. I will do that too, but first I have to go to gym and get my exercise specially since I had one of those dreaded overeating days yesterday. In between doing my artwork I will also do the washing which has been piling up and and later cook a curry for dinner.

Had a lovely dream about an old friend who passed away quite a few years ago. Its left me feeling all happy and mellow with the promise of good things to come. I love those dreams. They stay with me all day.

My daughter, Julia has been emailing me links to fabulous artwork on Red Bubble. Its becoming quite the morning ritual. What better way to start the day but with a dose of good art?
