Oh if only dreams came true...

I had the most wonderful dream the other night....

As I stepped in to a local art gallery, I saw some beautiful white marble stairs leading down around a corner. I saw in wonder that they led down in to a pool of glowing aqua water, where people were just walking around, no need for air apparently. Just as I was about to walk in, some scientists pulled me over and asked if I would be a volunteer for the new wetsuit they'd created. I'm so glad Dream Me accepted, because the wetsuit turned out to be an amazing full body mermaid tail. I could breathe underwater like all the others but no walking for me, no sir, I was living the dream (inside a dream - oooo Inception!)

I woke up needing to draw it. Unfortunately I didn't spend much time on it, but I wanted to show you anyway. And though the hair and eye colour match my own, the similiarities really end there...call it artistic license...or maybe Dream Me really did have that tiny a waist.



Oh and that green light to the right? That was the room where the green air was able to be swum in and Emmy Cicierega showed me these little silver globs that inflated in to giant metallic pillows on impact with the wall.

For Amy...

The last picture of my commission for Alicia, hooray! What fun I've had with all of these! Horses are most definitely not my forte, thusi left them till last....I like this little green foal more than Rainbow Horse I think....

Did someone say sparkles?

My second last picture for Alicia's daughters, this one if for Amy. I don't really like it...but I imagine a little girl will enjoy it.

For Nikki...

For her youngest daughter, Alicia requested a flower, and let me know that the room was black and gold. I went on a bit of a glow overload with all of Nikki's pictures, this one is no exception. The three pictures will be framed separately but displayed as seen here.



When I thought of 'glowing flower' I immediately thought of Tangled, and then had a minor freak out that everyone would think I'd just copied it. So even though a lily (the flower they used in Tangled) is my favourite and would have been my choice, I made a conscious effort to not use one, and instead used inspiration from the iris, tulip and calla lily. I'm actually happy with how it came out!

Want to draw!

I really want to be drawing right now...but I can not...as I am just on a quick break at work. Blergh. I constantly have new ideas and forget about finishing old ones....like all these below from two years ago....one day little sketchings, I'll revisit you. One day.

Productive Monday

I've stopped working at the office on Mondays. I stopped on the condition that I would get art work/costumes/crafty things done on the day instead. Sometimes I use them for other chores that I haven't had a chance to get to. Today was a success I believe.

My filthy car was cleansed of all rubbish, clothes, shoes and Up'n'Go containers (there were 5 in the door), vacuumed, scrubbed, pressure rinsed and sprayed with pina colada air freshener from the car wash mmm.

My very messy and dusty room was purged of all it's rubbish, clothes, dirt, cat food (my kitten is a messy eater it seems) and tissues...soo many tissues. I even pulled my bed out and cleaned underneath, huzzah!

Finally I got another picture for Alicia completed. I drew this the other night while watching tv with my sister, but all colouring was done in the last 3 hours :D



Now, I think an early night is an order!

A whole new world

My friend Kirsty LOVES Aladdin (movie AND character)

She also LOVES lasagne

So, I put it in a picture for her :)



And so you can see her in real life, here's us with the cupcakes from the earlier post
