Pretty Puppy Packaging

124/365 20.11.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons So a very lovely wrapped package arrived while I was in college. Love the wrapping paper, its very cute. The nosey cow couldn't wait and opened it before me. Impatient little thing. And this was inside :D Nice and warm from Cindy and the trio :) Now it just has to get cold out. ok cold but no snow. I could live without the snow :p and stop raining all ready! I don't want to have to swim to college next week.

123/365 19.11.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons Went to the library today since I read the last lot of books. I seem to be reading more now that I'm in college, probably a bad thing :p But in my defence some of them are art books ;p Since my creative space for the week is usually college its hard to show pictures of that. I need to take pictures of the college since we are not supposed to have cameras in the studios as there are nude models. My drawer is pretty much full of art so in a few weeks I would assume I will have lots of art to post and people can laugh at it :p I do have lots of drawing to do this weekend, most of it for college too. I have this really cool idea so I am crossing my fingers that it works even a little bit. Thank you everyone for your comments on my last post :D Feeling a lot better now so who knows what caused me to black out, its very strange. For more creative spaces head over here :)

Well...

122/365 18.11.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons last night was interesting. I have never blacked out in all my life (ok I probably have now that I think about it, but it was usually because I fell off my bike or got hit playing games when younger. yeah my friends and I were pretty stupid sometimes lol). Anyway blacked out 3 times in about 6 minutes. lots of fun :p So Mr.F phoned NHS24 because I was pretty dizzy and feeling ill. The nurse on the phone asked me a bunch of questions and then was "ok do you want an ambulance or a doctor" I'd prefer the doctor, but she said nope, sending the paramedics. Then why ask?! lol Anyway they showed up, did a bunch of tests and the conclusion is that its probably the bloody labyrinthitis again :/ I've been doing some reading, this could be a chronic thing. ok its official, if I was a horse I'd be shot :p So no college today :( which is a shame because its expressive drawing. And while I wasn't too keen on the class at...

Moo but not Oink

yeah so I guess I spoke/wrote to soon. What ever I thought I had thrown off last week seems to have reared its ugly head again :/ So was told not to go to college for at least 48 hours and then if I still feel like this go back to the docs. oh the joys of a stomach flu.... Copyright Jennifer Rose Philip So not a whole lot of drawing was done today. Did manage to get a bit further on the Xmas cow and not a lot left now. Just a few ornaments and then I think it will be done. Simple but I like how it looks :)

115/365 1.11.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons shoes. I'm not really a shoe person. If given the choice of a bag or a pair of shoes, I'd take the bag. I don't know how many bags I have, they are stuffed everywhere :p I have...5 pairs of shoes and only wear 2 of them :p 3 wedge pair, this is one left foot of one pair, a pair of sandals and my work boots I was married in. I would love to wear these, but they are pretty shiny and tall :p I can hardly walk in my sandals. hmm maybe one day I will wear them and cross my fingers I don't fall :p For more eye spy head here This weeks theme chosen by Anastasia

What am I Thinking?...

Image
I tried to find a form to try to get some art into the show last year but no luck. Found one in the library this year. Nothing to lose entering so going to try to figure out what to enter. I think I know already, but have a week or 2 to figure it out. Kind of freaked out lol but I do know you don't get anywhere without trying, even though it freaks me out :p My blog/website idea isn't working so need to think of something else. I hate code :/ I know what I would like both to look like its just figuring out a way to do it without killing both. Used soft pastels today so was sneezing orange and yellow, not to mention I got pastel all over my jeans. And probably in my hair. Cheap way to dye my hair I guess :p

Scottish Word of the Week

Image
So figured out what I am going to do with that spider web netting. Use it with the making if a messenger bag (like I need anymore bags :p). Have the skull fabric as the lining and the yellow/orange fabric with the netting for the outside fabric. Probably not get it finished before Halloween though :/ Copyright Jennifer Rose Quick sketch for the Monthly Sketch Group . Not sure if its sad or funny that I created the group but have only been able to get really quick sketches done lol must try harder :) Anyone is welcome to join in the projects :D Been way too long since a Scottish word of the week, so here are 2 to try to make up for it 1. craw 2. sugarallie Answer to the last word: 1. pokey-hat is an ice cream cone

Books Books Books

I love reading and if we had a bigger place I would have more books. I have I don't know how many at mom's which will probably stay there unless someone comes over here with them. I wish we had more space for books, but unless we want to be sitting on them instead of the couch its not happening (see I wouldn't have a problem sitting on the books, but I think other people might be afraid the tower of books they are sitting on would fall over and its not a good thing when guest need to be rushed to A&E with a bump on the head) Decided to fill out this little meme type thing that I saw over at Jenaveve's blog :) Do you snack while you read? If so, favourite reading snack? I use to, big sweet tooth. but now not so much. Do you tend to mark your books as you read them, or does the idea of writing on your books horrify you? If its mine I sometimes mark it, especially if its an interesting part. If its a library book no, seen enough library books vandalised to ...

107/365 22.10.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons Homework is todays creative space. Should have had this finished already but just got enough feeling in my hands back to hold a brush without the brush going flying in the air. The last thing I want is for someone to lose an eye from a random brush attack. And patterns for the same class. I need to think of an idea for a litter poster (to try to stop littering). I think I know what I want it to look like, just can't think of any text. Supposed to be for a contest too, but to tell the truth I don't really care about winning a contest, just care about tying to pass the class. Which might not happen, I'm not actively trying to fail but if it happens it happens.  I have probably put up some kind of block in my head that is stopping me from thinking of ideas for this poster. I can think of all kinds of design ideas for everything else but nada for the poster :/ On a brighter side its almost Halloween :D I miss R...

100/365 15.10.09 Mise en ligne par fuzzydragons Creative space for today, colour wheel theory. Not really what I enjoy doing as its really basic stuff that I've done dozens of times. But its mostly done, still can't write so the labelling will have to wait until I get more feeling back in my hands. Look what Mr.F's mom bought me. The shiny spider web lace/fabric (the black, the orange I've had for awhile now).I love it, just not sure what I am going to do with it. I can see it ending up being one of those fabrics I don't want to cut up as I love the pattern. So more fabric to add to the do not cut pile :p (I will probably use it, just have to make sure its for something good) And a £10 coat from the charity shop :) has a hood and lots of pockets. The furry piece on the hood comes off which is handy. No idea what the coat was worth new, but not from the cheapest of stores originally. There is nothing at all wrong with it, so had to have it since I...

Hi, Name is Jen and I Like Hanging Around in Graveyards :p

More picture tomorrow, even though I know I've posted photos of this place before, we got some photos of stones we had never photographed before. Off to bed as I am going back to college tomorrow as I figure my hands are as good as they are ever going to get without time or enough meds to knock out an elephant (even tho I am not far off of that point now lol).

96/365 11.10.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons My favourite corner of the house. The corner my desk sits in I guess would be my favourite in the house (ok maybe the bed would be my favourite but I might be saying that because I need a nap :p). Its where I draw, where a lot of my pencils are and where my laptop sits (and while I won't name a car, I am not against naming my laptop, haven't yet but if I could think of a name I would :p) I need a bigger desk, but then again I would just end up with a bigger pile of clutter :p Mr.F put up a bunch of shelves for my pencils and books. The books are starting to take over our small flat :p Soon not going to have room to walk. But I'm fine with that, a person can never have too many books :D (and could always just use the books as furniture). The one big downside to this corner is that we turned my desk to fit the couch in the room (small flat, our yard is bigger :p), and now I look at a blank blue wall. hmm ne...

95/365 10.10.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons ok so its a kangaroo that Pooh is holding, but they can do damage too :p Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip More pastel work. This time on black Stonehenge. Love how bright the colours are on this, but after about 3 layers of pastel its really hard to get more on the paper. Which I find really odd since you can get so many layers of coloured pencils on the paper. Getting better with blending the pastels, and things go really quickly with them. This took less then an hour while I was watching Merlin. Don't really need to concentrate on the story (story, what story? :p) while watching so can still draw :) Drawn for the Monthly Sketch group. I might get a chance to work on the other picture but that all depends on if I get this and college homework done.

Probably crazy

92/365 07.10.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons In January I am taking a belly dancing course because I have wanted to take one for ages. I really want to make some of the outfits I've seen, they are gorgeous. And hey its good for the abs :p And...also taking a dog grooming class at the same time. Plus college. I think I need help :p Not sure what I will learn at the dog course since I did work at a dog groomers. Probably learn how to finish a dog ,since I've only roughed them Rough groom to get rid of the worst of the mess. Bathed and dried, trimmed and nail cut. brushed and express anal glands (look it up not explaining it here ;p). And that beats almost anyone in the gross department. It was a hard job, and even harder when you saw the abuse of some of the animals, didn't happen a lot thankfully, (in some cases, people just didn't know). But some of the dogs made it worth it. Fred the huge Basset Hound who would roll around on the floor and play b...

no we haven't and never will name the car ;p

91/365 06.10.09 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons I forgot to post some pictures on Monday and since I've been dealing with dead hands, me taking pictures is almost out of the question. I tried taking some video and its a good thing I had the camera cord wrapped around my hand, because about 5 seconds after me pushing the button to start the camera my hand lost muscle control and all you can see is the room and cow go rushing by at an odd angle as the camera falls, and hear me cursing in the background :p So fancy pictures are out this week. So have 2 pictures of the car :) Don't think we got a bad deal, and Mr.F's dad said the rust can be painted over and it should help prevent it from getting any worse. Big advantage to Mr.F's dad being a painter (not a house painter :p). Not a lot of rust, don't think that. And the back and the big boot. Could fit a body in there..... And heard back from my MS nurse. She had talked to my neurologist and he wan...
