two vases

Going through other peoples rubbish is not something one should really talk about but I will. I wasn’t really going through the rubbish, they were sitting on the front garden strip for the council pick up, strategically placed for anyone going past to admire and acquire, which I did.
The first one is I think Diana ware. I like it the most out of the two.

I think my mum had one of these but on a larger scale. I like the yellow on the inside. The flowers were a free contribution from someones nature strip as well.

Have had my fair share of chocolate today and then some. Seeing TLG is away I can gorge myself and not feel judging eyes and hear tut tut tut.

gd. friday

A productive day.  Horrid Sydney Easter weather though.

I made an artists book.

And some experiments. I wont be tortured tonight going to sleep, as I feel I achieved somethings today.

anyhow………

What happened there? I think I have been in some parallel universe and missed a month on earth.
Doing a bit of art in inverted commas. I’m really going to have to get stuck into it this weekend being Easter. This may look like a child’s drawing. That’s because it is. I copied it from my daughter who drew it when she was about 5. I needed something simple to begin the printing process. Something I loved.

The following two pictures are from a book called The General from 1961. Got it at the opshop for 50c. Real groovy baby illustrations.

It came at an opportune moment though. I have spoken a couple of times about the Mr. here on the blog. He is aka Mark. I have renamed him. He is now going to be referred to as The Little General (TLG).
Earlier this week we waved him goodbye as he joined the Army. Initially for three months training, after that who knows. So this book is a reminder to me of this time. The story is quite apt too. Smelling the roses type of thing. Good stuff.
