Punk birds and splodges for WOYWW

It's been a big week again

with things happening on

four different canvasses.

Firstly to my desks

Some of you may remember that in a

moment of sheer madness a while ago

I cleaned up my studio

(I still shudder at the thought of it).

Well, you will be surprised to know that 

it is still reasonably

 (that might be stretching it a bit)

tidy

 (please note, you can see the floor).

There is just a bit of mess on the desk but it looks 

far worse than it actually is (cough, cough).

All those bits of paper up on the high notice board are

my filing system for phone numbers and

the rest are bits of paper with ideas on and general

junk that lands there.

This is my gooping station, where I put all my goop

in bags to keep it fresh and ready to play with.

Here is my storage area, where my paint, inks and 

all sorts live.  There are a few shelves with my

"pretty things" on.  Whenever I feel flat or I

can't find my mojo, I look at all those lovely things

and it helps with the inspiration.

I haven't shown you all the corners, 

hey a girl has to 

have some secrets!!

So painting wise, I sealed my bird painting,

finished the jelly fish painting and sealed it as well.

Just have to add the hangers when it is really hard.

Most of the week I've been bent over my new bird canvas

and yes my back really aches.

I've nearly finished gooping, just the bird to go now.

I've got so much goop on that sucker

that it's gonna weigh more than me

and that's saying something!!

If you visited me last week you would have

seen my cockatoos (here).

Well they have had a little change in attitude.

I give you the the new

Punk Cockatoos

Oh yeah, this is really in your face type stuff.

I'm starting to really panic now.... 

I trust my teacher but this is pushing the envelope a tad.

There is a lot of glazing to come so it will quieten down some.

If I keep saying that I might convince myself it'll happen.

I am painting in the faces and feet this week,

hmm, wonder if I should paint in some piercings,

maybe on on an eyebrow and one through a beak.

What do you think?

That's my little corner of the world for this week,

why not hop over to 

Julia's Stamping Ground

and visit more desks around the world

this wednesday.

I've got some head banging to do to

get me in the mood to paint these birds.
