Note: There was a surprise 3rd basketball game this day, before we could leave for the long drive home to Canada. I was not going to get a drawing done if I didn't sketch something right then and there...so I crouched at the edge of a parking lot, floppy sketchbook balanced on a knee and tried to sketch the flowers bobbing in the wind before I baked in the sun...I was not prepared for 30C weather...

Another long day, ugh. Tired, so tired.
I love skull and crossbones, jollyrogers, the grim reaper. Doesn't matter, I love them bones. I have socks, hankerchiefs, I knitted a felted bag with skull and crossbones. And yes, I even own a sythe. Call me crazy (many have) but it's just too damn cool. Although I liked it years before it became popular. Sucks cause I don't like to be one of the crowd, but on the other hand, it's pretty easy to go out and find something with them. Not so easy 10 years ago, so there :P Guess I'm just a hard core mama.
I emailed my friends and family and asked them in 2 words or less what they thought of me.
Then...a couple glasses of wine, a BIG step outside of my comfort zone, some paint, and an hour and......

Inspiration: Lillian Gish from the 1924 film, Romola
Result: Renaissance Kitty
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Micron 005 & 02 pens, in a Moleskine plain journal
Location: At home
Note: Snowy day and the kitten decided to just settle his 8 lbs onto my lap and sleep (and keep his toes warm) so I was actually able to quietly sit and draw this without a fight. What this will be like when he's a full grown Siberian (topping out around 18 lbs.) is going to be anybody's guess...
297/365-This week is Red Ribbon Week at our school and for those who don't know what that is, it is a week long to talk to our kids about being drug free. Today's activity to give the students a way to involved and have fun they got to wear silly socks. Most of my girls were socks, and the boys were "too cool" to show off their silly socks.
One card from my neighbour, who found our poor cat, Abigail, on Tuesday, 13th January, after some nasty speeding car driver hit her, and one card from our vet.

She will also get a super fun wardrobe knit by me, and sewn by Mouse in a Blouse. Stay tuned for project updates!!!!
This photography was taken at Ponsonby road, Auckland, New Zealand. I saw this man waiting for the bus, he was looking back in forth as if a looking for someone to come around the corner. When I was near passing him the light light up his silhouette and his head suck that I had to press the shutter.

Cormorant
Well today I wasn't feeling well. Not sick but not in good mood. Been busy and havn't had much time to take photos and I think it was the reason.
So to change my mood I changed my lens. I took my 70-200mm. Since this morning back of my head had been saying that use the lens for today's photo, so I follow the sign.
I did learn so much tonight and still lots to learn but taking that lens was a great call.
As I was walking in Nakajima Park, I found this bird resting on the rock. I am not a bird person so not sure what this is. Is this a cormorant? If someone can help me it will be appreciated so I can get rid of ? from the title.
Anyways it was pretty dark and I was struggling to focus right and also with the shutter speed. I was telling this bird "Don't move. Staaaaayyy"
I did enjoy taking a wild animal because of the atmosphere there.
Ummm I have to get out more.

I begin this photo project on the dunes of my favorite beach, watching a drop of sun fall through the clear horizon. Driving to Buchanan beach after being let out of work early was a wonderful idea.
This next year should be rewarding as this project pans out. By starting this project in June, I will have the rest of the summer to practice techniques so that as school starts I will be prepared.
I don't really want to be weighed down too heavily with logistics in this project, but I'll make an effort to post a picture every Friday-ish.
In the music section of Wellington Central Library, chosing some music.
