OK, I will admit that I chew my coloured pencils, so its not a good idea to let me borrow any lol :p I often use a dozen colours at a time, and can only hold so many in my hands, so resort to holding a few with my teeth. Thankfully no splinters in my mouth yet, but there is always the possibility that I might keel over from lead poisoning :p Its a bad habit, but it could be worse, I could work with clay and end up accidentally eating the clay, blagh (oh wait, I did that with sculpy once. It tastes horrible.....) They are hard to see, but I felt like driving myself insane drawing out all of these petals. This is after about half an hours worth of CP work, which is actually pretty fast, so hopefully this doesn't take too long to finish.

Untitled I love winter, I am a child of the snow, but right now I am getting a little sick of all of the brown slush everywhere and would much rather be sitting in the sand enjoying the sun right now. Making sand castles and chasing waves is much better then soggy socks and falling on your arse. For more favourites head over here :)

Mr.F's caramel square that weighed in at 10.5 pounds o.0 and was 2.5 inches thick. I actually haven't had any of it yet lol Xmas was good, Sky went crazy over all of her toys, didn't know which one to play with :p And I already said it on twitter, but you know you are getting old when you are glad to get socks (ok they are bright pink and rainbow coloured, and fuzzy, so not too adult :p) And now back to work....

(and yes, she wanted to eat the hat :p)

I love these ears :D They look so soft and fluffy lol I just want to pet them :p I drew this from a photo I found at this site , lots of lovely photos :) Jeanette does some gorgeous prints of fish, which has made me want to try getting prints from everything, well not fish, Sky would probably steal the prints :p These are leaves from the park with just normal ink used and squished in my sketchbook. I actually really like the pattern of the red leaf, its a very neat abstract effect. Think I might print my hand next :D

Almost done :) Brrrrrr! It is freezing here!! -7C to -11C o.0 I think that is the coldest it has ever been in the 6 years I've been here. Yes it would get a lot colder then that in Alberta, but I have become weak about the weather now. No longer can I call myself a hardy Canada :p ( Man up, crack on and stop dripping :P >> Mr F) I really wish he would stop with the Navy lingo. And yes the metal poles look really pretty with the ice crawling up the sides of them, but not pretty enough for someone to lick the pole. Why do people do that?

And more snow :) Still snowing now, so who knows how much we will wake up to. I don't want 10 feet, but a few more feet would be nice and would mean I could make a snowman village to play Godzilla with :p. Where's Mike Holmes when you need him? Sad attempt at a gingerbread house....I would not move in if I was a gingerbread man, I'd have to eat my way out of the collapsed rubble. Would that be cannibalism? Mr.F found the adapter for the lights! OK so they aren't tree lights, but they still work :)

I would have more of this done, but my hand went dead the other day and its really hard to draw when your hand feels like a dead weight (its a really odd feeling, not exactly like when your hand falls asleep, but like it weighs 50 pounds and you can't control it properly). So progress has been slow, but I hope to get at least the basic shading done tomorrow. I need to practice drawing with my left hand more, just in case I lose all the feeling in my right hand. It doesn't happen often, but when it does happen its a pain in the ass and is one of the only things that really pisses me off about the MS. I can live with the brain farts, the limping, hell I can even live with injections 3 times a week, but I think losing the ability to draw would really drive me insane.

Happy Birthday Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons I've posted this pic before, but its the only pic I have where you can sort of see my 6th finger. There are pics of me in this lovely frilly yellow dress where you can really see the extra finger, but they remain lost at mom's place for the moment. As soon as I get a copy of them I will post them tho. Me and my sister. I always had pudgy cheeks and she always had a big forehead :p I have no idea when this was taken. I was under 5 judging by the shirt and the fact my parents were sitting by each other without trying to practice knife throwing :p And even at a young age I was hiding from the camera :p There is one thing I really do miss about not living in Canada. I don't have a lot of family photos, which is a good thing and a bad thing. Its great looking at photos and then having the memories they bring, but on the other hand there are a few photos of me in questionable outfits that I never want to see the light of day ag...

wins the race and all that :p Between dealing with the crazy one, cleaning and everything else that happens this time of year, finding some spare time to work on this can be hard to find. Once the dog passes out for the night, if I'm not sleeping myself, out comes the art to work on. The tree is up, but we can't find the plug for the lights. It was around before I started cleaning, but its disappeared now. So the lesson learned is, don't clean :p

I keep forgetting to take a picture of the tree in Forfar, not the most prettiest thing, but at least this year it doesn't look like it was rummaged from the skip. Haven't put our tree up yet. Its either going to end up looking ok or it will end up in pieces all over the floor after Sky attacks it :p Apparently I'm mean and evil for wanting to put reindeer antlers on the dog :p meh, at least I don't want to dress her up as Santa Paws :p

Which she hates :p But at least people will be able to see her when we walk her at night. She just needs a hard hat now and she could be a member of the village people :p I changed my mind about doing the painted dog in coloured pencil, just going to use plain ole graphite. The eyes still need a lot of work but the base is laid down so the eyes are not an empty creepy void lol. I have a huge art list to work on: 1. fairy tales (2-4 pieces) 2. drawing of Sky 3. Cat drawing 4. Painted Dog 5. Sky painting 6. birthday dragons I need another hand....and more time in the day :p

ok so it looks more like a bear with over sized ears then a painted dog, but its just the rough line art so still needs a bit of refining. I have to have a few things on the go at once, just in case I get bored with one and then can move on to the next. hmm do painted dogs go woof?? And yes, the snow is still here :/

A few hours of work and its finished, now onto art that isn't just for me. So many fairy tales to read threw and then draw, and I need to start on a few animal drawings. And there is a lot of snow here :/ Yes being Canadian I should be use to it, but if its going to snow this much, I demand polar bears! To the left of the door, and to the right. I really should go out and buy a sled/sledge before its all gone, but Sky keeps wanting to play on the kid's sleds in the park, and I am not dragging her back up the slippery hill :p
