Cardboard trees and sleeping cats

Cardboard tree

Cardboard birds (plus wooden duck)

My younger son and I spotted a brilliant cardboard tree which we thought would make a great addition to the boys' room.  Assembly took...rather longer than anticipated, but here it is, fully assembled on top of one of their chest of drawers.

Let sleeping cats lie

In other news, the cats have been sleeping again.  From top to bottom, Nut, Mouse and Stormy.

Cats in the Craftplace?

Are you bothered by cats in the craftplace?

Do they lounge about your arty area?

 

Do they sleep on your scraps basket?

 Well wake them up!

Ignore their pitious pleas!
 

These soft, furry, time-stealing critters are not to be tolerated!

Happy New Year (again)!

Eeek, my enthusiastic posting has moved my happy new year post to the back page, but we are still very new in the year, so here it is again.

Starting point for short animation

This was the quick iPad sketch (on Brushes for iPad) that gave me the idea for the little animation.

Storm and Mouse, whose antics inspired the sketch.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  May 2012 bring good fortune to you and your loved ones.

My New Year's Resolution: To be creative every day.  

If this sounds a bit unambitious, it is because I am bored of failing to keep up my New Year's Resolutions.  Adding just a touch of creativity in each day seems manageable.  As a start, I've linked my first, crude animation made using AnimatorDesk, a brilliant iPad app.
