Odds and things

I've been a little busy doing I have no idea what but I thought I'd just post a few things I've been up to. Other than the huge addiction to pinterest.com and craftgawker and etsy...

Right last week I did a few lions that I copied from a very pretty photo off of bing, ( the lion is now happily purring away in my sketchbook, I think there two in there now :) It was something that I enjoyed doing and reminded me of the days of watching the lion king on repeat.







 I made a pacman banner. No you didn't imagine it, I really did make one. I got the idea from minieco http://www.minieco.co.uk/pacman-halloween-garland/ from her Halloween  garland of silhouettes which does look quite cool, and  you should check it out AND she also has the template there for it hence the beautiful right shapes that would have taken me forever as it looks like a simple task, and sod's law isn't on my side ever. I wanted to mine with colour though, as its summer and I just like colours it was actually hanging in the gazebo outside. 

 You see this is from well the remaining pieces of the pacman banner, randomly stuck down I say random, I really mean carefully places haha. Just so I didn't have to bin the shapes of coloured paper again, it was quite therapeutic. Although it probably looks like a mess, it was a good way to freely experiment with my fineliners again, yes I know I keep mentioning them but I like them... lots in case yous can't tell haha. I may actually keep going on this as it doesn't feel quite finished to me yet, but saying that I will probably over do it a tad and ruin it, we will see I suppose. 


If only I could find a way to deck my room out in these colours, it would be great haha. 





 Then there's Pablo the penguin. He is the accident of trying to make an octopus which I did make, then very promptly deleted. I just couldn't do the cute octopus I wanted and then somehow this little penguin was born. I'm fairly certain is has something to do with watching the film happy feet, something about penguins dancing really sank into my subconscious. Its a little abstract and Pablo just seemed to fit well, yes I know I've done the childish thing and named the animal with a P starting name for P starting animal haha. Anyway that's four what  I hope are lovely things in one post, hoorah. 


Ooh and it was one year yesterday since I started my fanfiction and its sill going *cheers* happy days!
