I was expecting 3 deliveries from #Evri today.

How many arrived?
Well, as #Evri is just as shit as it was when it was #Hermes, Parcel one arrived.
It was spectacularly broken

Courier 2 took a picture of the other end of the road and claimed it couldn't be delivered, and 3 is MIA.

Yesterday was the UkWomensMarch

I attended in Cardiff, met incredible people, absolutely exhausted myself but did my first thing this year to make a stand.

Let's see what comes next.

Currently in South Wales

Let it snow etc etc

What are you doing on new years eve, because if it isn't painting random ladies is it even worth it 😂😅

If, like me, you're struggling with the AI cess pool online now, I recommend this. Its already made my day better (I use the blacklist extension for Mozilla)

Naps sound like an amazing idea. I've just finished Xmas cards. All the wrapping is done. I just need to empty the car and I'm waiting for it to get dark before doing that because my neighbours are NOSEY.

Honestly, think I should have done that instead 😂
Flagging like heck right now.

M&S at 6am today. Shattered now though.

Does the Process know I'm trusting it? 🤔

(I have spent God knows how many hours adding tonal variations to the face today. My hand hurts 😂)

I don't mind wrapping gifts, I quite enjoy it really, but I do take umbridge at the migratoy habits of my scissors mid present.

I'm holding down a flap needing to cut sellotape, and they've suddenly decided a holiday down the back of the sofa sounds nice.

Started work on a Mari Lwyd

And am currently hyperfocusing on a re-imagining of the mythic Cassiopeia (both Queen and constellation)

I do love winter for the time it gives me to craft.

I also painted some Xmas cards

So, what have I been up to recently, lots of gifts, obviously, but also painting.

I got a damaged print from a charity shop, and like the child I am I've been painting pokemon on it.

I had a lay in, I've done some cleaning and woven more gifts.

This is not a bad Saturday. And I'm making a mutton massaman tonight which I am looking forward to.

Xmas gifts are continuing.

Snippet management is important.

The valleys are flooded, the weather is still intermittently vile.

So, today I am weaving and crafting and eating junk whilst watching "Tales of the Green Valley"

Happy Sunday

Today the crows came to visit (a few times, they always do because mealworms and seeds), followed by this adorable feathered ping-pong ball who warbled his little heart out.

Yes, I have reached peak old bird lady at 35. 😂

I'm going to need daily updates... possibly multiple times a day. With videos.

Holy crap, if my ovaries weren't already f'ed up they would have exploded from the cuteness.

Tonight, due to snow and chilly weather, I'm watching movies from my childhood and working on Xmas gifts because I really have put that off 🙃

Whoops. But the loom is out, and on we go!

4 hours of it here. Drove to Newport and back in it, wouldn't mind, but I live halfway up a fricking mountain and the snow does not want to melt

What do you get if you cross washing up liquid with a secret agent?

We were making up stone age jokes in a workshop last week and had "which animal is mean to cavemen? A bully mammoth"

Have you read the Facemaker? (Same author as Butchering Art) really recommend it!

Ink drawing of Bedford the Bedsheet ghost surrounded by books, a lit candle, and a steaming mug.

Also got my first label on a post (artistic nudity) DESPITE the censorship.

So, here's a Bedford the Bedsheet Ghost.

Normalize posting the messy sketches!
Normalize sharing your least favorite pieces!
Normalize creating art for vengeance by drawing your enemies in compromising positions with various farm equipment!
Normalize group critiques!

Water colour painting of Maria Callas as Lady Macbeth, wearing a red headdress, crown, and jewel accented tunic.

A painting of a female dryad mid transformation into a tree. The dryad is nude from the waste up, so the chest of the painting has been censored.

It's Monday morning. (Yikes)
And I have far too many meetings coming, meetings that could have been emails.

So here is some art. (Censored in one case because tittage)

Today we made pots, it was hard as hell 😅😂
