coloured pencils and a felt bird

I found a packet of coloured pencils in my stationary drawer today.

My friend Josh sent me a packet of fold-together box speakers, the ones that you are supposed to decorate yourself.. they come complete with a little packet of colouring pencils. Such a great gift! I love the whole concept of being able to draw all over these cute little cubes.. however every time I attempt to draw on them.. I draw a blank.. I find blank canvases quite intimidating! So my speakers are still the plain paper bag brown colour they arrived with.. no decorations.. aww.. so instead I have used the pencils to draw the fist colourful thing I spotted on my desk today.. my felt bird broach, a gift from my sister Hannah a while back. A warm up for the speakers.

Rain

Thunder & lightning, its raining cats and dogs today.
hmm really must start to bring a bit of colour back to my work...

phone sketch

Sound sketchy? Well its not.. I like to draw while I am on the phone, amazing how my brain uses sketching as a tool for remembering details during phone conversations.. so if you are ever talking to me and I am drawing away - I'm not bored, most likely deeply pondering our conversation... its only if I don't answer your questions back that you need to worry. I think I'd like to make this one into a nice painting.

icecream

It sure is hot in Melbourne... all I want is ice cream, obviously.
