I think I may have created a monster...

With all this spare time on my hands (yeah, right) after completing reports (yahoo!) I have done the silliest thing and started yet ANOTHER blog! What with this general news blog, and my book and film review blogs, and even my half finished art journal blog from last year, AND my voyage into book journalling I didn't really need to create another place to write things. But I am a sucker for creating and writing, and I had a little inspiration from a few blogs around the place, especially Excuse Me Mrs C.

Soooooo, to cut a short story long, I've started a teaching blog. Because really, when it comes down to it, teaching is my career and it is my true talent. And, I have been creating, with the help of the wonderful Shabby Blogs, a groovy looking blog, with a great plan to make it into the ultimate Kindy teaching resource (always reaching for the stars, I know)!

I'll add to it when I can, and maybe, just maybe, it will reach some of the teachers out there who need new ideas and inspiration for the classroom! You will find my infant blog at Happy Little Kids. Come on over!
And then pop over to kootoyoo for more creative spaces!

My Creative Space - The Mad Hatter

After my long-winded efforts at using acrylics to paint my Alice in Wonderland drawings, I decided that I'm really not that good at it, because I kept making mistakes! Soooo, I decided to go computerised and am now colouring my characters in Photoshop. MUCH easier, once I got the hang of it, and I'm loving the way the Mad Hatter turned out!

I haven't printed it out yet, because I ran out of ink printing out all my photos from Broome, but I will be doing that sometime on the weekend. Stay tuned for more Wonderland characters in the following weeks!

My Creative Space - Painting

I am still painting my Alice in Wonderland characters, so I thought I'd show you my upcycled tools of the trade! We abandoned this spice rack when I madeover my pantry, and it is perfect for holding all my paints. My palette is an ice-cube tray! No fancy studio to work in (I would love one) but our dining table is a huge surface to work on, and I can watch the tele while I paint. You can see more creative spaces on my bloglist, and over at kootoyoo. Check them out!

My Creative Space

I found another blog game to play! This is one hosted by Kootooyo. I'm having a whale of a time looking at the variety of creative spaces in the blogging world!

Myself, I've been getting out my Alice in Wonderland inspired drawings again, re-drawing some of them and adding some colour with acrylics. Soooo therapeutic! Plus, I love seeing them finished, like the Cheshire cat pic.

One of these days, I'll be able to revive my etsy shop, and offer prints of these drawings for sale. One day!
