PAINT PARTY FRIDAY - the lovefest continues ;)

Paint Party Friday Post... for those who thought I'd lost interest, sorry but NO I haven't, so deal with it LOL ;) I still LOVE Paint Party Fridays... and I'm back to join in with something I've been doing this week via this wonderfully crazy  (in a good way) blogger called Amy... she is running this FREE tutorial/workshop/thingy and it's really cool, I've never done anything like this online EVER, so, (here's the BIG RAP) it's also the best tutorial/workshop/thingy I've attended/done! So, I'm excited & I'm sharing my work for PPF :)

How to be a Hottie

I bought a fantastic mirror for $6 at the $2 shop :)

So I could draw myself... and also so I can see why I should never greet anyone at the front door again without wearing makeup ;)

Yep my pencil sketch that I did following Amy's step by step tutorial :) although the flithy fingermarks over the whole thing wasn't mandatory...

OK This is my 'mixed media'... If you think I look a little worse for wear here you should have seen it BEFORE I attacked the (acrylic) painting with my pencils & pastels... I may keep working on this or perhaps lock the portrait away like Dorian Grey did in Oscar Wilde's delightful novel ;) I realised my hoodie wasn't glam but, it's not like I was posting in Vogue magazine :)

Thanks for popping by dudettes (& wandering dudes too) Eva and Kristin are the wonderful hosts of PPF if you get the chance, grab a cuppa or wine & party-on :) Stilettos & make-up optional ;)

Ohhh ALMOST FORGOT (actually I did & now I've come back to add it to my post)... I did an art piece I'm donating to save forests in Scotland, it's a charity thing my fellow blogger Martha alerted me too & looks wonderful, my donation may not save much more than a branch or maybe a few leaves at the least, but this is it & it's called "Who will sing for our Children" 

A cuddle & a cup of tea...

Today I realised I had lost two from my rainbow of followers, just overnight... and I started thinking, did I say something wrong? (probably) Do I use the word 'crappola' too often (yes to that one too) Did they feel unloved :( You know, I'm thinking... I'll never be able to tickle everyone, I will fall short of expectations with some of my rays of sunshine... I can't even pronounce big words (although that has nothing to do with anything), but is is a little sad... So here's what we do, we all need to feel wanted & no one likes to be left out... so I've come up with this...
The solution :)
I would give you all a BIG GROUP HUG...
Come on, get in close, don't be shy, don't even THINK about not getting in real close... Closer... CLOSER!!!!
OK all 131 of us... come-on, you at the back too, get in the huddle, that's it... there's plenty of room...
1...(get ready),
2....(don't be shy)
3... Group CUDDLE!!!!!! CUUUUDDDD-DDLLLLE...
ahhhhhh....
savour that moment...

OK

I feel better, actually feel like doing a little happy dance, feeling the energy, the love, support, we may be scattered all over the world, but come on, you felt it right, nothing like a group hug to get the sweet vibe :) I feel loved, that was good :)

OK on with the post you cuddle monsters LOL :)

What's your poison? Cup of tea? mug of coffee? Bottle of wine?? Cask of Tequila???? (Better quit there, I was getting carried away) Whatever it is there is something about multi tasking with a drink in your hand (or perched within easy reach)... actually I have reached for my paint water (& turps) on a couple of absentminded occasions instead of my steaming cuppa (tea not flaming ouzo)...
Oh yeah, why am I sharing this? Inspiration Avenue are having a 'tea' inspired challenge, and I have just completed a few works that you may have seen the birth of a few weeks ago? (yep, I'm slow) I know some of you already take part in this weekly event, but for those who haven't discovered it yet, maybe pop on over have a peek and share in another great group tradition, a cup of tea with friends ;) I'll see you there!

Tea with Dolly

Tea Time art & aceos :)

I'm LATE!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what to write... for some reason my brain is not forming words, for someone (that is me) who fills every space with inane vacuas chit chat, this is strange... I'm still waiting...
Crapola... nope... nothings coming... so here's what I want to do, I want to share one of the sweetest places on earth with you... it has pretty much nothing, oh I hear you say... what about the pub??? and isn't there a Fishing co-op where you can get freshly shucked (man I love that word... 'shucked'... & it's not even rude) yes... freshly 'shucked' oysters, from the river that runs along one side of the town of Wooli & fresh fish caught from the fishing boat that goes ocean bound each morn (weather permitting) the other side of Wooli... you see the town is on a peninsular about 4 houses deep at it's widest, & it's surrounded by national park... & the area contains some of the most secret fantastic magical deserted locations in Australia that still are within cooee of civilisation, it's a place where you drive your car along the beach or through the red dirt forest roads, it's a place where kangas & birdlife rule, where the Murdochs & Packers of the world will never be seen, McDonald's will never open there, it's where you can take your family, where the locals chat & discuss the weather with the knowledge of national meteorologists where the hardest decision you make is what you want on your burger (cheese with that?) or if you want a beer or wine with dinner... it's Wooli & the surrounding locale, it's sweet, it's got the cleanest water & the most fantastic stretches of beach... it's got nothing, & it's got everything, & as I said... I want to share it with you... this is where we spent our winter holiday, and this is the place that always calls us back...

Now, next item on the agenda... Firstly... I have been inspired by Martha (please visit her wonderful shop) from Ayala Art filming her winners (I was one & I will  post my wonderful aceos win to show you when they arrive) & although not nearly as well done, I found a way to film my "randomiser" winner from my blog giveaway, I didn't really know what I was doing, but I typed out all the names that left a comment on my 'Mad Tea Party' post, and although I'm totally late... just like that little rabbit... I pasted them into the randomiser & let it do the work...

This is pretty anti climatic but I took the easy way out & let the randomiser pick, I'll try & be more creative next giveaway LOL... congrats to Stacy from MagicLoveCrow YEY... YOU HAVE WON A VOUCHER FOR AN ITEM FROM MY ESTY SHOP!!! Sorry that was all in caps but I was excited... Alrighty then, I hope to have more giveaways soon, so thanks to all that entered and please try again next time!!! (Soz, Martha's video was so much better LOL)

OK until next time, thanks for joining me, take care & remember to hug the ones you love ;)

Mad Tea Party... Come on, just a quick cuppa & you can be on your way!!

OK, First I apologise, I've been flat chat running around like a headless chook, 2 weeks of intense work with deadlines of 'Needed Yesterday', and tonight what I really need is "a cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie-down" which in Aussie speak is... to chill out. BUT... I want to party...

OK, here in Australia, 'Tea' is also supper, supper is also dinner, a mum (say me) yelling "TEA'S OUT" mean's dinner is ready and family members should assemble at the bench and take their plates laden with whatever I've found in the fridge that wasn't was limp or mouldy across to the TV... when asked 'What's for Tea?' by my ever hopeful babes, I often call the one pot wonders I've chucked together something exotic to make it (seem) more attractive.... 

BUT...

A 'MAD TEA PARTY' though is more than just wearing a party hat & sitting in front of the tele watching a repeat of 'Family Guy' while making sure the dog doesn't knock over your wine, it's actually a virtual event that is shared by amazing people all over the globe, people who plan & organise, who create magic on their blogs & hopefully people who are OK when you really WANTED to party, but forgiving because you've been as busy as a centipede on a hot plate, so sorry, but I ain't exactly offering the matrix of entertainment envisaged (by either of us)... 

Then, EUREKA, I thought, don't get your knickers in a knot & just join in, so here I am...

Tea, the tea I don't hollar at dinnertime is the tea I have been drinking since my childhood, the tea I gagged on when the leaves floated to the top of my china cup as a babe, the tea I used to sit & sip in my great Aunties house, the one I had with my grandma when she made her butter scones, the one I still savour when I visit my mum & we finish pot, after pot over a weekend, the cup my hubby brings me in bed before my toes hit the floor because he knows I'm not a morning gal... tea... I've had it made in a billy, pot & with a bag... straight, with milk, green, black, peppermint & everything in-between... I have so often admired the Japanese tea ceremony & longed to partake in something so refined... but alas, Aussies love their tea, but they'd drink it out of a rusty can if that was all that was available... 

To Celebrate the wonderful event of Vanessa's MAD TEA PARTY you can...

WIN A VOUCHER FOR ANY ONE ITEM FROM MY SHOP... and if you are one of my followers I'll also throw in (no, not the kitchen sink or free steak knives) an extra piece of art, my little 'tea party aceo shown here...

OK, here's the deal... I'm off for 2 weeks... I'll be finishing my paintings for the 'Mad Tea Party' (see previous posts) & they are going in my Etsy Shop (be posted in time for the winner to have more choice)... so, leave a comment, (it's easy, anything will do) and in 2 weeks around the 9th of July, I will randomly pick a winner - any item from my shop, whatever, one prize, winners choice... 

East meets West... my morning cuppa

Now for that "cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie-down" actually maybe throw a teaspoon of scotch in with it, my 94  year old tee(tea?)totalling grandma always swore it was the best way to get a good nights sleep...

Thanks for dropping by, now go on, I bet there's a cuppa waiting at your next party stop too ;) Promise I'll track you down if your announced the winner ;)

Jeez Louise, it's Paint Party Friday!!!!

OK, I have to go watch Eureka... we downloaded it (I hope that's not illegal, because I probably shouldn't have said if it is... so maybe I should say we recorded it, yes I think we recorded it) and tonight (yes it's Friday NIGHT in Australia and it may just be breakie time at your place) and I have a glass of cab sav in hand & cheese plate & crusty loaf waiting so you KNOW I love you but... well my man said dinners out, & it's taken all day to get to my post & I know after a wine (or 2) & sitting watching TV with my babes in front of the fire (yes it's COLD here tonight... maybe 15 degrees?) I KNOW I will not get back to this so, here it is... my post for PAINT PARTY FRIDAY!!!! 


But first, just quickly, my youngest babe Trinity came home from school 'survival camp' today so instead of dragging backpack, sleeping bag & all on the school bus I picked her & her sister up from school... We had to make 2 stops for food on the way home from Noosa to Coolum (15 minute drive), no vegetarian option for dinner at camp so she was handed a capsicum (not impressed) she didn't realise survival camp meant you had to put up your own tent... she took so long she missed the only opportunity in 3 days to have a shower, also now has a sprained wrist, she said she did that while sleeping on rocks, apparently we were the only parents not to provide our child with a bed roll... they did say 'optional' oh yes did you know it's been the coldest recorded temperatures (ever) for June in Qld??? She took 4 pairs of shorts & singlet tops (she doesn't like jeans or long sleeves) I forced her to take a jumper & pair of her sisters jeans 'just in case'... Ab-sailing of a 75 ft cliff became a stand off between her & the camp councillor with him pushing & her firmly hanging onto the rockface... now, it's getting late & you probably just don't want to hear the story of the 'DROP DUNNY' OMG, she's so funny ;) OK, I gotta go now, she's a little tired & wants me to massage her feet... mmmm.... I think I'll eat first ;)


Now remember to check out Eva & Kristin's blogs who put this shindig together every week & the other talented artists who have joined this weeks fun, the whole gang is listed at this link..... PPF :) Today I have a new start on some bit's & pieces I'll work on for the tea party (if you want to join you are most welcome, I have a link in my side panel), something old (but sentimental) & an almost finished artwork that has progressed from my original roughs last week... not much, but it'll have to do, I have a cheese platter to demolish!! 
Party On Dudes!!

(Virtually) live from Queensland Australia it's PAINT PARTY FRIDAY!!!

Exciting news (well for me) One of my little Nudes (well big breasted actually, but it's a little aceo) has been used as a muse, by Magaly at Pagan Culture, she has written a... well I was going to say sonnet, then ode then I realised I couldn't really remember what that really meant but I definitely know it's nor Haiku, but what she has written, well, words, beautiful words for an artist, inspired words celebrating the female form, I am so honoured (actually, that's to formal, I'm freakin thrilled) that that little beauty inspired such a deliciously sensual response, utterly chuffed... I'd love you to check it out & maybe leave a comment and while you're there, if you could ROOOOLLLLLLLL on down, you will find a Surfing goddess, I took the photo at our local beach (actually it's a little bay hidden away from the hustle of main beach) this goddess was given form by my hubby Frayz & he wrote the words that embrace it... if you like it please leave a comment on the post... 


But... 


Befooore you do, I want to share my PPF work below, I finished 3 little canvas babes and I've started on a larger one (ahh make that 2), I am taking part in Vanessa's fancy & fantastical "Mad Tea Party" on the 25th June (I do anything for a freshly baked scone, blackberry jam and dollop of luscious cream) and because I'm not known as Speedy Gonzales when it comes to art I thought I'd get my finger out & get cracking... I'm not sure what my door prize will be yet... let's just say, a work in progress, a surprise (for all of us) LOL
Paint Party Friday participants & supporters are a freaking AWESOME bunch so thanks for joining in the fun & think about throwing your name on the list, to check out a list of Party people to visit & for more info just press..... PPF :)

I MADE A LINK MISTAKE!!!!!!!!

SORRY DUDES & DUDETTES, I PASTED THE WRONG LINK, THIS IS THE NEW LINK Below is LAST WEEKS PPF, please make out like I didn't make another link blunder & just ignore (below post) and go to THIS LINK


OMG if Eva & Kristen find out they may bar me from partying at PPF... so
SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH don't tell ;) Thx!!!




Don't read below unless you missed last week, or otherwise you will get an OVERWHELMING feeling of deja vu...


WHAT A WEEK! For anyone who didn't know I changed internet providers and I was CUT OFF from you my constantly amusing, creative, and inspiring souls for a big chunk of it & then had limited internet access at other times, what's that, you didn't even notice??? Too bad I'm back and I'm coming to stalk you all... Ahh such is the life of a lonely blogger/artist/nutcase... 
OK Yes I got 2 paintings finished this week... BUT firstly I have to thank a close bestie for suggesting this to me, I had done a couple of series of imaginary friends, I always had one and used to make a space next to me on the lounge, the pew at church, the floor (minding my donut or lollies) from siblings... and, well, Stacy from MagicLoveCrow suggested I combine my 'imaginary friends' with Magaly's "Witches in Fiction" celebration, & although that's over, I was inspired by the thought... so let's call it a delayed reartion (is that a word?)  well, the paint is still wet but here goes...
Charmed & I "HEART" U....  HAPPY PAINT PARTY FRIDAY DUDES & DUDETTES :)
Oh & go check out the other creations on display & maybe join in the fun & throw your name on the list, for more info just press..... PPF :)

Awards AND Paint Party Friday... must be time to do a post...

OK, I'd like to thank, well there's so many people... 

Hang on, this isn't the Academy Awards, hell it's not even Police Academy 5... but an awards celebration it is it is and for someone who's first & only blue ribbon at sport was for Tug-A-War when I was 15, I can't tell you how thrilled & awkward I feel accepting the "JUST LOVE HER VERSATILE WAY" in the last 24 hours I have been heavily tagged (& now sporting bruises) by the wonderfully wicked Magaly from Pagan Culture then out of the blue WHAM tagged next by the delicious Mina at Green Witch with Sprinkles and before I could recover, SLAP BANG the unique & wonderfully loud Linda from Olde Baggs 'n Stuft Shirts hit me with the same award, OK does it look like I have that many secrets to share??

Well uh uhhh... so when I was given "Three Freaking Things" from my bestie Stacy from Magic Love Crow also arrived... OK, a slightly different award BUT Not toooo different, I decided this avalanche needed addressing so hang onto your glomesh purses, here we go... Fast & Furious...

Oh Yeah, there ARE rules to this, but, hell, I'm just doing 3x3x3x3 

3 things I love 

Blackjack, A blank sheet of paper, Life Drawing (see Paint Party Friday addition)

3 more things

Memphis, Trinity, & the Big F

3 things about my childhood

Never had a bike (I had a reputation as being clumsy), tied my brothers tonka trucks to my feet with mum’s tea-towels so I could roller-skate (the wheels kept piercing my arches with the steering wheels, ouch (yep deemed to clumsy for ‘real skates too), each night got changed after my bath in my wardrobe, very shy about my chubby body.

3 things I told my career guidance councillor I wanted to be, a private detective, radio announcer, dolphin trainer, they told me if I couldn’t be serious they couldn’t help, I was, but they didn’t.

3 Random things Don’t eat birds, eggs, offal etc, I was voted most likely to become a nun (by the nuns) and I have no respect for hypocrites, bluggers and go gooders of word only (not action)

3 more things just because I’m on a roll... Mum - a constant inspiration I am in awe of every single day, Dad - the most generous man & fabulously fun father who taught us to do our best, because that’s all you can do and taught us that material goods never made anyone a better person  and I miss him & wish my girls had the opportunity to have met such a life-force. My siblings, for so many reasons I’d have to write a book to explain.

OK, Not going to bore you anymore because then I can’t bore you later (and I will my precious, I will)

But... Movies - Blade Runner (Directors Cut), Brazil, & Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...

AND

Comedy - Dodgeball, Marx Bros Day at the Races, & Zoolander

AND

TV - Millennium, Battlestar Galactica (remake) & Family Guy

I gotta go, it’s Cheese-plate night & it’s every Friday Fruit, Cheese, Crusty loaf wine & sodas, the fires on, it’s dropped to 18 degrees (that’s cold on the Sunshine Coast) and there’s one more thing, you guys, you, you are the reason I’m here, thank you, I appreciate the company, the chat & the stimulation, and I know the 3 of you had better things to do tonight...

Almost forgot... tagging, nominate yourself if you want too, go on, grab a button, I'm a Libran, don't make me choose, I'd love to know some more about you, let me know in the comments & I'll come visit & read some things about YOU!! Please, volunteer otherwise I'll have to come after you ;)

Almost forgot, as per previous revelations, love life drawing & painting, this is of model Sarah, oil on plywood... Happy PPF ;)

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY!

Almost forgot, I joined last week and loved visiting so happy I remembered (thanks Marlene, your post jogged me into action)!!
OK, My Hubby, Soul Surfer & avid Beachcomber handed me a piece of wood recently...  (no jokes please)... actually over Easter... the grain was worn & etched & the piece weathered, it was a treasure washed up by the ocean onto the sand at the bays, you had to be the right person to find this, others may have walked by never bending to scoop it up and absorb the beauty it possessed... I loved the driftwood and was not going to touch it... it sat on my desk,
Anyway...
I ended up painting this on in black ink... and gave it back to him... Good Friday.

Anyone who hasn't checked out the other PPF artists, can follow this link to drop in & see what they got up to this Friday ;)

So Pleeeeeese make a comment here & Please look at all the other artistic offerings at the Paint Party & head on over to Magaly (links above) to add a little magic to your Friday ;) Have a great weekend & as my old fav Keanu would say... "PARTY ON DUDE!"

OK... Who the hell put a spell on me???

OK... WHO IS IT?? I know someone has been up to no good, because everything mechanical (thank God I haven't a pacemaker) has friggin' refused to work this week... alright, to be honest it may have started when I drove over our phone (receiver)... long story short, actually let's leave it at the really short, you leave a phone receiver on a driveway, and it comes into a close encounter of the 4 wheel drive kind, it's more than likely to come out of the ordeal damaged, and in more than 1 piece, lesson learned! 
Maybe that wasn't a spell, maybe that was just stupidity, 
BUT THEN... 
My computer finally gave up the ghost, after weeks of starting it with a hairdryer (yep another long story short) we have had mega moisture (aka rain) over the last few months on top of summer heat, very tropical, so air can be heavy, humid, and seeps into the vents & motherboard in the computer, which is easily solved with a hairdryer, blowing warm air into the computer vents at the base of the Mac... that is until you fry the motherboard (I thought the 'heat' setting would work quicker than 'warm')...  THEN Fraser (hubby, soul mate & writer of the previous Witch V Bitch blog posted story) realised his hard drive holding around the last 5 years of brochure work done for various clients was DEAD... RIP another piece of electrical equipment... we were not content to bury this little device without trying a little resuscitation on our plugin pal, so we spent $120 for a 'specialist' to tell us we needed to spend $1000 with someone else to retrieve data... and he would only send our hard drive back AFTER payment cleared... is it just me or didn't people have to 'do' a job to be paid in the past (?) I wish I could 'look' at a job & charge 120 bucks... 
OK, moving on, Speakers on the IPOD - FRAGGED (and no I did not drop, pour OJ on OR run over them with the car backing out the driveway)... DVD player STUFFED we are now watching movies on my daughters school laptop... 
Sounds like I'm whinging... well to who ever shorted my electricals (did I mention the clothes dryer?) I have news for you... it's OK, really, we still can hang the washing on the line, nature can handle this job with her other chores ;) I am renting (& drooling over) my new Imac, the hard drive we replaced - 5 times the size & a fifth of what we paid 5 years ago for inferior crappola (rest it's soul)... so, hey if the spell was to aggrieve, didn't work ;) the phone, well we have one not held together with gaffer tape any more & I have an extension next to my art desk so I don't have throw art equipment to the side & fall over the dog sprinting to the home office for a work call & answering breathier than Marilyn Monroe sighting JFK at a B-Day function... so all's good, & watching the 'Summer Heights High' DVD on a laptop instead of TV last night proved a sweet affair, we pulled out a mattress in Trinity's bedroom & Memphis got soft drinks, nibbles & the Big F & I a wine and we chuckled through 4 episodes before deciding we would call it a night... and the Ipod speakers... hey we still have earplugs to listen & we can just sing, plus, we have something to add to someone's next birthday list :) so all in all, I'm not whinging, I'm saying 'thank you'... but you better not try anything on our coffee machine... you wouldn't like me if I don't get my morning brew!!!


OK Prize 2, What about the last one you may ask (or not) well, May 1st, that winner will be announced along with this & the next prize winner, so anyone that hasn't left a comment still gets a chance to leave one up until April 30th on all 3 'Witches in Fiction' Celebration posts...
This next is still under completion BUT I will have 3 (4 if finished) 'Witch' inspired mixed media creations in my Etsy Shop on May 1 and the winner of this post will get to pick whichever one they want, & if they don't I will have to use some magic & make them ;)
So please leave a comment for an automatic entry to win one of these... too easy :) 
Don't forget to check out the other magic & giveaways happening at Magaly's Pagan Culture Blogspot too!
