No! This cannot be. Suddenly, I'm busy. I never thought I'd see the day. At the weekend, I thought 'hang it!' I threw aside my maths textbook (gently, don't worry) and pulled out my pastels. It's sad that I have no time for creative pursuits when I have nothing else I should be doing.
I have taken the next big step in my life and gone to university. I've never moved house before and have always lived with my parents so a new city is a big thing. Suddenly, I have 15-20 hours at uni a week and a pile of coursework and exercises. I also never realised how much housework I would have to do. Washing my clothes and pots is ok. Keeping the flat clean is not, and it's my turn to clean the bathroom!
When buying all my kitchen wares, I wanted cheap items but I also wanted something unique so no one would take them. I ordered some Pebeo porcelaine pens (they're amazing, go get some) and drew on my plain white crockery set and my cutlery. I was very proud of the outcome. Unfortunately, in the rush of moving out, I never got a photograph. Now the designs are beginning to come off in places and It's a bit late. I might do another set one day.
Another problem with my new circumstances is my lack of material. I left all my paint, brushes, paper, canvas and other accessories at home. There simply was't enough room in my Mum's little car and I would struggle to bring them home. All I have is a black A4 pad and some chunky pastels. I didn't even bring my fixative but that's my own fault for forgetting.
I'll be uploading bad pictures or not sharing my work at all. I don't have access to a scanner. I used to use a public one at home but now it's just a point-and-click camera.
I've finally downloaded Google Chrome which, unlike IE, supports Muro. Gimp never liked my computer so (beyond MSpaint) it's my first foray into digital art. I'm starting with quite an easy project. I am drawing my interpretation of the shields of the houses of Gondolin. It's a bit slow and Muro is not as good as I expected but there's that to look forward to.
Anyway, I can't put off the bathroom any longer. See ya!
