Magic Cats

 

I saw these cats in someones front garden as I was walking home in a snowglobe last night, snowflakes, eyelashes.  They were drinking peppermint tea and eating stripy cakes. I think they were magic cats.

Sent!

I made up all the pill boxes today and sent them off- 7 in all! I only sent one box of depressants and that was to the tutor, all the rest were ‘happy pills’ and I put smarties (instead of ‘glitter pills) in the boxes that I sent to my friends. I sent them to people that I thought needed cheering up a bit. I hope they don’t get offended! For my actual assessment I think I will present the two boxes as a set.I took this picture with my phone so it is not very good quality ^

I also re-did the Christmas picture without using black paint for the shadowing so that it doesn’t look so grey but I’m not sure which one I prefer. Also I didn’t do a background this time and the sky inside the globe is darker. I guess I’ll let my Grandma decide which one she wants to use. I think i still need to put a sheen on the globe so it looks more like a glass ball though…

I need to start making my house for Thursday now. We have to make an ‘apartment’ for a character and decorate it inside how that character would. At first I thought I would do something really gothic like a house for the Addams Family but now I’m not sure. It’s going to have fairy lights in it though

Dark Carousel

29th November

Yesterday I got a call during lifedrawing to say that I have sold a couple of Death of a Cupcake books at the Christmas show! This is very exciting for me.

I had a mini tutorial with Rob and he suggested that I make some of the writing on the pill boxes colourful so it is less harsh. I also changed the picture on the front of the depressant box because I think that the current picture looks more like a page from a book. I think that the two boxes look much more like a set now.

Last night I drew the picture for the front cover of my Grandmas Christmas Carol Service leaflet thingy. I never usually paint realsitically so it was really weird for me to try and get all the shading in and stuff and took me AGGGGES. I can’t look at the finished picture for too long though cos I just start seeing all the imperfections in it. I might redo it but here it is anyway:

Yay! I can't wait til Christmas! :)
