What a year!

So the year for me is ending – September to September had been hell for me – I met great people fell out of love was stupidly broke and fell deeply into love with a wonderful man who really loves me and am about to be free again… In the time between then and now I have learnt so much so I will leave you with this image until my next post – love you all and wish you the best for Christmas and the new year – you can always contact me via email

A glimpse into a project or two..

Why am I so quiet lately?

Well I have a number of things going on and not a lot to take pictures of and some I am keeping secret for a bit longer.. However I thought I would share a little teaser with you today..

I was lucky enough today to find a HEAP of old par avion envelopes in blue and white, the old leather writing kit and some other bits.. The note book and so on is part of what I am working on in the background atm.. I am waiting on my new camera to arrive but will try and get some decent shots of the miniatures I am working on at the moment..

Lots of inspiration and projects,

Jenn

Chaotic neutral..

It seems no matter how much I’d like my desk to stay clean…

Doesn’t Orwell make a spiffy sales man?

Hard at work

As you can see we are hard at work on the scrappy towers
Orwell is keeping my desk clean and being a great help!

Some of you may remember..

Some of you may remember this little fella from last year..

His name is Orwell and he has decided to move into my art room.  Due to an accident regarding his box where he was hibernating  he is now wide awake and ready to get on with it. He is currently using the old witch study room that I had been working on last year at some point and has demanded that I make him a proper place to live . In exchange he will help around the art room and keep things tidy or at least tell me to keep it tidy…

Unfortunately all of his belongings were distroyed in the 2010 devastation so he only has a camera which we found today during a little tidy up.. Well I had better go and make sure he has a blanket for tonight as it gets cold here between 9pm and 3amish..

From the team here.. HAPPY NY!

When the weeks crummy, make a zine..

I have had a bit of a crummy week this week. I wont go into details but it has left me feeling very deflated and uncertain of my skills and decisions.. I am sure it will pass it just sucks. I had great news to drop here but our internet is being less than satisfactory so even loading my blog has been hell.

Right… the news.. I got a PO Box on Friday so I feel alot more secure in my mail and trading and selling online..

I made a zine that I wanted to share with you all so I will have to turn it into a PDF with instructions.. it is a VERY random experiment but it made me giggle at the end when I flicked through it

Hope you are all well and cheery!

Mini Workshop – OneOAK and some other bits..

Yesterday I got up and had a great day. It was a great day because first thing in the morning I HAD something important to do. That was a skype workshop with my nephew ( the same one that came to stay last year and had art time with me) I have been working on Ninox Issue 2 and 3 in small doses. Mostly I have been trying to figure out what I am putting where, format, layout, graphics and making notes on Issue 1 to correct things I was not happy about or just didn’t know to begin with..

Back to the nephew I made a really rough how to make a zine guide and also scanned in one of my older ones that I made as a background and then wrote some letters on, which I had uploaded for you to print and use for your own projects, obviously give credit and only for personal use

 

I also have a little zine I have been working on using scraps from my desk and whatever came to mind when I was working on the pages. There are little mini notes a very time review on a series of books from a publisher that produces some street art / artist books and some others.

And that is about it. I have been planning and plotting next weeks project with my nephew which I may do over ustream. I may set up a weekly time and date for ustream depending on what I end up doing on my days off.

I am up for trades with zines but I don’t currently have any copies of my Ninox Zine and they are a little expensive to get printed so if you are interested in one I would have to find out the costs locally as I don’t have access to the same chain I used last time.

Well time to go and get some work done on texts and writing..

OneOAK – drop me an email if you want to trade / purchase.. I will update them to Etsy later (today hopefully).
