Hot, Hot, Hot

It is so hot the house is slowly collapsing under the unrelenting sun. We have hit 30degreesC and it is a pleasure to be in a cool house with shady windows. Even the cat has finally collapsed in a shady spot and is breathing very lightly. We are not complaining about the heat, merely leaning back into it and enjoying the dozy, languid sensation it brings.

I am liking my new paper! It lets my ink pen draw nice, black lines without catching on the fibres and splattering so much - yummy!

Sunny Days

We are having a few sunny days in a row - that is supposed to come to an end tomorrow but maybe we will be lucky and we'll have another great day. It is amazing how much the weather affects my mood. This is the beginnings of an idea I am working on for a prop for some jewellery I want to display. Of course the prop will be a solid colour but at the moment I have enjoyed thinking around some of the requirements as far as shapes go, and playing a bit with the summery feeling that this selection of colours evokes.
