Mr Snore strikes again for WOYWW

I didn't have the best time at art class today.

 I'm so tired I couldn't concentrate.

I added some gloop and made the feathers

and the branches this week.

Yep, two hours and all I could

manage was a few feathers and

a branch or two.

Why am I tired?

Well it's exam time

at school again and

 Mr Snore 

struck again.

Whenever hubby is stressed or

has a lot on his plate,

the noisy Mr Snore comes out.

You see, hubby is a teacher

(maths, oh the humiliation)

 and exams are always the culprits.

This man can snore in every 

conceivable position

and even the hardest jab in the ribs doesn't

alter his pitch or volume.

Is it me or are men totally

oblivious to the outside world when they sleep??

I spent half the night trying to shut him up

and the other trying to ignore

the freight train that was in our bedroom.

Hence, eyelids droopy and operating in 

slow motion today.

My desk has a few things on it this week.

I decided to draw and paint some of the

flowers that I had received over the 

last few weeks and turn them into cards.

 I painted the orange flowers large and the pink flowers

were just a small size.  The main reason for the painting was

 to finally use my new water colours

 and they are fabulous.

You just have to touch the pan with water and

the colour is brilliant and strong.

Now all I have to do is to cut them up and make

them into cards. 

 My teacher has been giving us drawing lessons

and I used the technique to draw the flowers.

Then I drew it in pen

 

and coloured it with the paints.

It worked quite well but I had run out

of matte photo paper and used

smooth water colour paper to print 

out the cards.  The paper

absorbed a lot of the colour 

and it is a bit washed out but still

a nice effect.

That's all I did last week,

not a lot but I'm getting back to it

slowly.

I have to find a subject for my 

next canvas but I can't 

think of a thing right now.

Now you've seen my slim pickings,

why not head on over to 

Julia's Stamping Ground

and see what's on every one elses desks.

I'm taking a sock to bed tonight,

I think you may know what I plan to do with it 

(mwa ha ha).
