Trying to get as much done on the foxgloves as I can today :) The cow is trying to help out and at this point I could use an extra set of hands to help me finish :p

Its too bad I only have one little cow because I have a few ideas for herds of cows :D Stampeding herds of cows, or cows mimicking lemmings jumping off cliffs, hmm but that might be a little too odd :p (yes I know that lemmings don't actually wake up in the morning and decide to fling themselves off of cliffs.)

wins the race? :p Another small update on the foxgloves. I seem to be getting more of a shine to this bell then the last, practice practice practice :) A few of the other bells will have more yellow in them then pink so should be a nice contrast in colours. I'd love to do a blue version of the foxgloves which I think would look really nice on this black paper.

Another blast from the past, this is from 2003. I have kept art that I really liked and enjoyed drawing but I just don't have the room for a lot of it now :/ I remember I had a lot of fun drawing all of these lines and looking at it makes me want to draw another piece in this style :) Not like I don't have enough on my drawing list all ready :p

Only a few but they taste great :) If we are here next year there will be a few extra plants in the ground that have branched off of this one so should get more berries as well.

Adding more older art to my Etsy store. This was a drawing from a photo I took sitting on the bench near the top of Baldwin Street. Really glad there was a bench there after walking up that hill, I didn't make it all the way to the top but Mr.F did. I can't believe it was so long ago that we were there.

Another flower in the backyard :D Can't remember what this is, I can never remember the names properly :p

This weeks Scottish word:

1. rift

Answer to last week Scottish word:

Favourite Childhood party games. We use to play card games a lot when we were younger because it was cheap and you really never ran out of games to play. Usually played Crazy Eights, but of course Go Fish was played and War, which is the game that never ends. Many a bruises were had from playing Snap!, had to remember to take your rings off when playing that. We use to play Bug Your Neighbour but I don't remember how and can't seem to find a card game that is exactly right, similar games but no exact matches.

And when you ran out of card games to play there was always trying to build a card house :) Never managed to build a huge house but did build 2 or three layers before someone sneezed :p

Jeanette has issued a rock challenge so people can get work on their rock skills and see what other people are doing. I have decided to participate because it never hurts to practice and these are the first of my attempts.

The cliffs in Arbroath drawn in my little sketchbook with graphite. I really just wanted to focus on the rough lines, and then the shading. I think that if I draw this section of the cliffs again I will use colour.

And some little colourful pebbles :) Inktense on Langton paper which works really well. The colours are really bright on this paper and the pencils glide over the surface. Really just wanted to see how the Inktense worked on this paper so wasn't too worried about the texture of the pebbles but I did manage to get a smooth texture to most of them with a few little cracks showing up :)

living with a hernia :p

So the results of my ultrasound said that the pain could be caused by a hernia. But could be more adhesions too so have to go talk to a surgeon. Not really looking forward to that as the last time I was under for surgery I could 't move for almost 3 days afterwards :/ fun fun but will just have to wait and see and hope the pain doesn't get any worse.

The little cow playing with the MIL's DS. I really want one of these but still just a bit out of the budget for the moment. One day I will have one :)

Did get some drawing done today but nothing really worth showing as it all looks like chicken scratch :p I am going to be drawing some rocks and pebbles in the next few days, I'm thinking bright coloured rocks that look like they are from another planet :)

So I decided to bring back the little cow and possibly drive myself even more crazy by trying to take 365 pictures of him. Either I will get all 365 pictures taken or I will end up in the nut house because someone has seen me taking picture of a little stuffed cow riding the bus or driving the car :p Either way it should be fun :p

I promise not to post every picture I take of him on the blog, but its great for days I can't think of anything to post :D

i have about 2 dozen ideas for pictures and after that I really going to have to think of some things. Anyone have any ideas?

Hopefully art tomorrow, I've been busy scanning a bunch of old art that I will be putting up for sale to make space as we are being drowned by artwork at the moment :p
