Today is a good day to not be outside.  Everything is grey and blustery and damp and cold looking.

It is a good day to be in with books and music and paper and paints.   Which is also good because theres diddly all on tv again.

I have definately gained +watercolour skills many times over this past few months.  I'm still a bit baffled as to how that occured but I am pleased with the results.  Currently waiting for a stretched inked piece to completely dry (you make the paper wet as you tape it to the board so it doesn't go crazy wrinkly while you're painting) so that I can mask off sections and start the base washes on it.  This'll be the biggest single piece of art that I wasn't forced into by an art teacher - I always wanted to work small, this was disapproved of for some reason.  Well biggest not counting my kimono painting anyway, thats a whole different category of work altogether.

My room is covered painted things and beaded things at the moment.  I guess that means I should catch up on some scanning and photographing so I can post 'em in various places doesn't it?  I wish I didn't hate this computer so much.
