hands - an ongoing project by me

I had planned a little TTFN post last Friday & then I kind of faded to black without warning...sorry.

It seems I've just slipped quietly into holiday mode...watching trash on the teev with my big girl.

It's been a big year & I'm looking forward to a bit of downtime. I'm going to take a bit of time off to really enjoy the break with the fam.

I might be back with a holiday something or I might not. I'm just going to let the summer of 2010/11 wash over me.

Thank you all for your very valuable contribution to this space during 2010. If you've read, commented, laughed or just nodded along...you're totally ace...it's why I keep showing up & hoping that maybe something in my sometimes-cheaty-sometimes-serious makings will make you want to make something too.

Have a safe & happy holiday...TTFN.

xoxo

I'm quite fascinated by still life.

I went to the library & did a bit of research recently. Not content with the traditional symbols I made up my own & have made his & hers portraits.

Have a cracker weekend.

PS: The subjects of these portraits are still very much alive & kicking.

I'm a fan of the eyes of course - aren't we all? BUT I'm really interested in the hands just at the moment. I've been thinking about how you can tell an awful lot about a person by their hands.

These hands belong to my great aunt & they've served her well for more than eighty years...making & mending.

for this space!

The week out was good for my soul but not so good for the crafting.

& I've got a little confession for you...

The taking of photos has been zapping all my creative energy. I'm trying really hard...failing lots...and maybe getting better at the snapping (but still terrible at chatting to random people & taking photos in the street).

It's good to be back but I expect it'll be sporadic until the kids go back to school.
