One big mess of a day.

We are in the last week of school holidays

and so I thought I would try to do the weekly challenge

for Inspiration Avenue and have

something decent to show everyone 

for WOYWW.

Should have known better.

The theme for IA was butterflies, sounds simple enough

but I wanted to try mixed media.

Out came my trusty journal and I was off.

I cut out a butterfly shape and some butterfly music

and had this good idea (seemed good at the time)

to make up the butterfly with lots of little butterflies.

After cutting out about twenty little butterflies, I got fed up and changed tack.

I lightly water coloured the butterfly and glued it to the journal,

then coloured the journal and glued on the music

and now it is getting a bit yuck

(so are my fingers, with the glue).

Then came the next bright idea

to use glitter glue and gel pens,

getting worse!!

So I place the little butterflies on the page,

looking a bit better, until

without thinking, I have a blonde moment and

blow away some crayon dust and

all the little butterflies

flutter about the room.

Time to give up for the day I think.

I am happy to show the picture today

as it will probably be totally different by

the time I put it on IA on friday

(that's also if it makes it to IA at all).

Here is my desk today

and

here is my poor little butterfly 

(prior to the blowing incident)

Think I should stick to painting!

On a brighter note

schools back next week,

so I won't have the 

500 interruptions that

I had today. :)
