Evil teachers and snot for WOYWW

I was missing last week

I had a date with a few boxes of tissues.

It was one almighty snot fest,

you know the kind,

where the only way to sit upright is if you

stuff a tissue up each nostril and

just let them soak up the snot.

If you sit up without the tissues, the snot just comes

streaming out and floods everything in it's path,

even computer keyboards are in the firing line. 

Plus once the snot hits the cotton wool

inside my head it gets really heavy and I can't 

hold it up, hence, staying away from the computer

and just laying on the couch for quite a few days.

Today is the first day back into my art room since my last post

and of course nothing has changed desk wise

but I did go to class this week and did quite a bit.

 Remember this fellow, well I decided I didn't like it now

so we decided to take off a lot of the dark ink on the colourful water.

He's looking better now but my teacher had

 that evil glint in her eye.

That look of I'm gonna scare the pants off you now and

she made me mix up two pots of ink, one with turquoise and

sepia and one with purple and sepia.  

Now those of you who know me well, know that I hate the colour brown

and the thought of putting that poopy colour on

 made me go green.

I put in just one or two drops of sepia

 and then miss meanie

smiled and poured that stuff in like crazy. 

 I think they heard my protests in the next county!!

Trust me she said, with that evil grin and so it began, a dribble of this and a dribble

of that and ....

okay I told you that it needed the sepia in there

to bring out the colours (cough, cough).  

It still needs to dry and the colours will still move,

plus there is a lot of work to do on the pelican itself

but I have to admit that I really like it now.

Just wish we could get this result without 

 giving me a heart attack every time.

Just to prove it wasn't a fluke

I also inked the boat with the leftover inks

 

This was really fresh when I took the photo 

so it will move more but I like it.

I'm going to paint the boat properly, I think, 

may change my mind yet.

Now don't get me wrong, my teacher is fabulous 

at teaching us and I love her to bits

 but when she gets that evil glint in her eye,

 my heart starts to race

and that feeling of dread comes over me,

cos I know she is going to make me put 

poo cack all over my canvas!

Should have gone to class last week

and let the snot run free!!

Well that's my almost kinda desk 

for this week

so why not hop on over to 

Julia's Stamping Ground

and see the other desks around the world

this, now snot free, Wednesday.
