Pretty sure I wont get any more reading  done this month, so here are the books I did manage to get finished :) 2 more to read to meet my goal of 80 books read this year. Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie My rating: 4 of 5 stars Really enjoyable sci-fi, enough of a mystery to what is going on to keep a person guessing and really interesting characters. The he/she pronoun use was a little confusing at first, and I took a few chapters to get use to it. The Maze Runner by James Dashner My rating: 1 of 5 stars um...hmmm.... boring and full of so many one dimensional characters, very predictable ending :/ Glad I borrowed it from the library and didn't wast money on it The Long Mars by Terry Pratchett My rating: 3 of 5 stars I would honestly only give this 2.5 stars because it is pretty boring and just a redo of the first book (with Mars added in) :/ What was an interesting idea, just gets boring after awhile when you don't do much with it but jump around differ...

John this time at 8 or 9 aww pinches cheeks :p  Look at the computer!

A small update on this since my wrist is making a lovely popping noise, and I have damaged my rotator cuff and shouldn't be working too hard on things at the moment. So yeah, this is going to take a lot longer then I wanted it to when you also throw in the Uni work I need to do. Thankfully, at the moment that isn't too hands involved at the moment. And a close up of a feather section. Still needs shading but the basic feathers are there :) I think this is about 3 times the actual size lol

Messing around with the layout again, let me know please if things look odd and if the header is too hard to read :)

And onto the part I am dreading messing up. The wing feathers, a couple dozen maybe? Decided to show an image of the plate over the photo so people will get a better idea of how I work when etching and see exactly how many feathers I have to etch. The black paper makes it easier to see details in bright light on the plate. There are some people who might argue that all I am doing is tracing and its not really art when I etch these birds; but I take the photos that I use and have to decide what to leave and what to include in the etching so the print will look right. I think its still art, technically it is dry point work, not traditional etching, but acid and me are probably not a good mix with my shaky hands lol
