pen, paper and ink

so i have been making artist trading cards for a while now, it has been great getting the inks, pens, pencils and other arty stuff out and getting back to drawing. i really do miss it, and its great to be back drawing....not sure if its that good, but i am having fun and that's great. if anyone wants to trade that would be amazing..well that's it you like any of my cards...and i know its hard to see them. some of them might be entered into an exhibition so they might not be able to be traded. :)
i am now off to bed to watch eagle vs shark. i love this cute film so much. 'Finding love was never so... Awkward.'

back to the start...back in my room

yesterday i went for a long walk. it was nice to get out and about and see friends. i always seem to be going on walks recently!
once i got in i ended up staying up quite late trying out different ideas for artist trading cards. once i have made a few, if anyone wants to trade, please let me know, because i would love to trade. :) i found my sister's tamagotchi...and its come to stay with me for a while...he he. i did ask if i could borrow it for a while, and all i got from her was a little grunt, so yay my gain. oh its all new, not compared to my really odd school one i remembered having! ha ha.i do not seem to be leaving my room recently...i enjoying sitting by myself. i miss my flat sharing uni days, when people would be walking in and out of my room all day and all night...but its weird. i am getting used to being on my own, and i do like it. because i seem to always be in my room, many of my photos lately have just been of my room...sorry about this! hopefully fun adventures will come my way very soon.

the art of trading

so since i have been home i have been raiding my sister's book shelf, and started reading Betrayed by p.c . and Kristin cast. apart from reading i have been on trips with my sister, and since she now has a car, its more fun. the weather has not been very nice recently..it always looks so gloomy, every day!! it is starting to be annoying! but even though the weather has not been great, it was so nice to see some countryside...i have missed it very much, while i have been living in the city. apart from that i have recently got really into artist trading cards. this is all down to lina, she is amazing! now i am not sure if what i have done is right, but i have just been playing around at the moment :) i need to learn more about how to trade with other people, which always sounds fun! these are a few i have made.i have also been giving this award by I carry your heart aka beverley and Sophia :) i now need to list 10 Honest things about myself: 1. I love the smell of really really old book...you know the ones with tons of dust on.
