whilst MY boyfriend was away

Yes My boyfriend of 4 weeks...and last week he was away being his big brother's best man in MiltonKeynes in england..

The girls and i had decided to have an early HALLOWEEN. only becasue the girls were off to Burnley for a performance and I was working all weekend...



I dont think we look too bad..... we would certianly pass for the next casting for Hokus Pokus. either that or something from a tim Burton Film.... *chuckles*

other than that... what can i say... I havn't got my camera with me at t moment so cant take pictures of my lates madness..

That includes my bedroom which is presently half packed to move....

*note to self get more boxes*

in a couple of weeks Little miss Kaiy will no longer be living with her Mum or Dad... a good portion of my kit will be at my new place before mum gets back home from Kiwi land (newzealand) and then will let her settle into married life before i go bombarding in demending for my wardrobe and draws worth of clothes and my boxes from there..

anways ...

Points of the day

*Richard is at work till about 2(lunchtime)
*I get the morning to myself
*time with richard
*half packed
*good luck t mum and batolly in kiwiland... miss you....

Clever Crafty Kaiy

What to say... Other than Kaiy had a brain wave, and yes, it hurt.

Blame my friends for loving my doodles so much. They gave me the idea....

there is no way to explain it, other than to say. My tribal and doodle work are based on key ingredients, Moko tattoo from Newzealand, Indian Henna, the arts and crafts movement and Celtic art. Main artists would have to be Archibald knox, Julia Ashby Smyth, Nicola Dixon (all local artists) William Morris... Amongst some others.

I combine the details and basics and manipulate them.... take a basic celtic knot and distort the shape, make it vine like, add floral patterns and generaly have fun... after all they are doodles...

Recently though, I have decided i might have a go at a mini production of Cards... aswell as the usual floral design, It struck me. Xmas is coming. what about....... adding tinsle? baubles? xmas trees? things like that......



kitty cats chasing mice?....



What about...... spider webs? bats creeeeepy craaaawwwwlies.. birdies and things?



i then made a simple design with cats for dad... he loves cats the cover says "laa Ruggyree Sonney Dyht" which from manx into english is HAPPY BIRTHDAY...hehehe

38 days till mum goes off to get MARRIED .....

..... and I havn't seen her for nearly 2 weeks. "Yes mum i still love you." But i do have a valaid excuse.

*
I started my new job as a barmaid (part time), and I now have a second job lined up (in a COFFEE SHOP). Saturday will be my day of truth to see if they want my services (my training day for 3 hours).

*
On top of that my friend has given the all clear that she and her family hahave their new home and will be moving in in the next month, that I am welcome as a lodger. "lucky you mum im moving out of yours and dads places." I am still thinking about it and do not have to make any final thoughts on it just yet.

*
I have taken to myself to start rumaging through my stuff, so when I do move out I am alittle more organised. Rumaging through old art folders and boxes I have kept under my bed with Pieces and memories i havn't seen for near 4 years.
Including this fantastic memory.



(far right hand side on front row. I am leaning on my class mate Tasha)

Yes, there is a story behind this picture that has now been added to my BOOK (journal/scrap/ scribble).

The first few weeks of my second year at college, our first week that we were not OUT AND ABOUT for primary research. We were in our first lesson for Graphics (computer based lessons) and we were full of mischief and the giggles.

Our tutor poped out for a few minutes and so we were set to work on a mini project to show when he got back. We were given sticky lables, orriginaly to place our names on our person so tutors could tell who was who, but we had a better idea.

We each drew a pair of lips on our stickers and carried on with our work. A small note was passed through the class once the tutor had come back "place lips. Soon as Andy talks, TURN ROUND" and sure enough, our tutuor speaks and behold, we managed to freak our tutor out!!!

He loved it that much, he piled us into the photographic studio to photograph our team work and by the next week he had the original copy blown to A3 size and on the "Messege board of insperation".

Grattitudes:

New job will be a new view on life

possibility of moving a step closer to indipendance

step mum gives me an idea for the future

MAD but very good memories that are able to be kept in a book

I LOVE MY FAMILY even if i dont show it much

CHILDREN!! AVERT EYES.!!

Please do... Here is a drawing of a tattoo design i have recently doodled....



as you see i am still working on the female body but i did sketch her from one of royo's pieces and manipulating the body to more realistic proportions (theres no way r my boobs as perfect as royos dream girls). at least i can sort of copyright my work now.

Sorry guys

Im sorry for any madness of not having any photos/ pictures recently. My Photo shop doesnt seem to want to let me copyright my owrk. it is making me angry because i have so much to show. i will have to somehow try to find another way to do this..... maybe Paint will let me.

job hunting...

Still nothing.... but some say, every 14 applications you usualy get 1 or 2 interviews... so maybe i will get one in the next week or 2 (ive recently applied for job 14/ 15). On the whole.. not much to say.. not much to report. i need to take pictures of my doodles again though to keep you up to date... maybe when i go back to mum's this evening i will get a good chance to.

.... so what happens when im in a tidy mood...

(pictures are being sorted).Soon as i get up I manage somehow to gather my thoughts, get dressed and decide I'm going to give my room a good turf out..... "Wonder where that went...." "oh flip, not seen that in a yr and a half......" "hahaha I'M NEVER WEARING THAT AGAIN".......so far.... (between 10am and 5pm) I've managed to go through allllll the art and craft accumulation around and on my desk. Ive also had a good root through the wardrobe found my knitting in the bottom at the very back "hahaha still got good taste in choosing wool colour".... i still need to tackle my chest of draws... there is stuff in there i hadn't touched since mum and i moved in to this flat.... and getting rid of stuff makes me feel i can start again... well at least makes room for something better..
I'm going to steal mum's idea of gratitude... its cool... also shows the good things happening even if the rest seems like mayhem....

GRATITUDE:

1) 3 cheers for mum supporting me.. and taking me for a break form the mayhem known as my room to mooch about in town. Always up for an idea hunt.
2) thank coffee... don't know where I would be without you.
3) 3 cheers for Ben for putting up with me. (4 days till he goes home to Yovil)
