Oh, I so love her work!

Check out this You Tube interview with her: The Black Apple Paper Doll Book (highly recommended book - with paper dolls to cut out, and beautiful scenery, even a theatre background...)

She is soooo nervous, I feel really sorry for her.

Here is a more relaxed interview with her about her new book - Dream Animals - : http://youtu.be/QYZRslUPViE

Thanks to the very helpful tips of RandomElouise, I now managed to take a screen shot of the book cover at amazon (isn't it awfully pretty - of course I had to buy the book….)

My result for the taxidermic quiz...

Which Poorly Taxidermied Animal Are You?

   You have a cheery disposition that is damn addicting. Nice work!

Paper Keyboard Cat

I thought it was time to have some fun, and dug up the link to an old favourite of mine on YouTube

You HAVE to take a look at this video… it is so very funny.

I can watch it forever.

Time to get to work...

… I have hardly done anything since my last post,

apart from some blind contour drawings for Carla Sonheim's LifeBook14 assignment, and a first attempt at a Princess for The Year of the Fairy Tale.

Below the Princess, and her Cat, you find:

a Zebra
Flowers in a vase, and a House (oops, these are contour drawings, but they are not 'blind'!)
another Zebra

Another work in progress...

This is the first step of another LifeBook assignment (second week of LB12).

The Earth Goddess

Here are some pictures of the Earth Goddess… I have not finished the assignment yet, but that may take weeks….

Really poor quality photographs, sorry about that. 

I rotated some of them, but they flipped back after copying them to my blog (I am clueless about how IPhoto works, and the help function doesn't help at all - because there is nothing in it - or is that my cluelessness, too?). 

But I promise I am going to learn how to Photoshop (I shall have to now) - it is one of my New Year Resolutions: no more crappy pictures on my blog!

Anyway, the Earth Goddess does look rather earthy now, with these artificial light colours…. in real life the collage is less green.
