Doodles for Carla

I had so much fun with this! It was actually very therapeutic for me and I had a bit of a break through about my mixed feelings about 2008 so far. I never ever use a ballpoint (yep, I'm allergic) so it was very good for me to get over myself and grab the closest.

Alter Ego for Lorraine

Bad, bad, procrastinating girl! This is very late on it's way to Patrick.

I had this all worked out in my mind, then I realised I was just reworking Lorraine's own entry in her own book - not cool. Then I had a really cool superhero idea, but with no story or depth to it. After some fooling around drawing the mannequin this idea started to develop and just really tickled me.

It's drawn with a black uniball signo, always my pen of choice. I love the way it starts behind Zenia's entry and finishes with a torn edge, like some grubby newspaper cartoon discarded in the street.

Carla's book...

Has come to play at my house... will get right onto it and pass it onto Kel ASAP.

July's Posting Day

Greetings all,

It's been a quiet month on here so far - I wanna see the pretty pictures!!! Having said that, I am finishing off my entry in Lorraine's book, so no pics from me yet.

And where are the Molys?

• Patrick, I'll be sending to you this week.
• Carla, do you have Zenia's yet?
• I believe the other 3 are all in London...
  

At this moment...

Lorraine's is at my house.
Zenia's is probably on it's way to Carla's.
Mine is on it's way to Lorraine.
Patrick's is at Lorraine's.
Carla's is at Zenia's.

Patrick has a break this month, and Lorraine will end up with two.

I am really enjoying watching everyone's books fill up with such original takes on the themes.

Kelly's is on it's way back to England!

If I was not me...

Here's my entry in Lorraine's moly. The theme is alternates so I thought about an alternate me. I often wonder who / what I would be if I wasn't my shape / colour / shy-self. Would I be a wife and mother, would I be a traveller, would I be a singer? I chose to explore one of these alternate Zenias. So here she is... the girl I would be if I wasn't me.

It's going to Kelly for coffee on Thursday.
