A lovely weather day here today, it was nice to have the doors and windows open and just potter around the house and garden. We had a lazy start to the day, which included checking on the greenhouse and picking a “few” tomatoes, we may just have to have some everyday for now on!
I have spent a good part of today doing my homework, I’ve been a good girl and I’ve done it all. I shall put the photos here. Hopefully its what the tutor wants, but I have to say I really enjoyed challenging myself to come up with a specific creative project, with a small design brief, and going through the planning stage.

And my final piece is here, I loved making this page, I didnt actually want to stop, I will maybe make another one, but for me.
I have a zoom meeting later this evening for an online art class, the last one of the class, and I have 2 days of Sewtember to achieve, but I am as sleepy as Max so likely something will not get done.
Last night we watched the Denzel Washington film Flight. Its been on our list a long time, when we got to the end we were both amazed at how powerful a film it was, and how we are so often surprised by how great an actor Denzel actually is.
I’ve been catching up on podcasts this week too, Show up and Shut by Willa Wanders, Get Messy by Caylee Grey and Kick in the Creatives, These 3 are my favourite, I also listen to The Craftermath, 1 Scot 1 Not, and I dip into a few others sometimes too, Laura Horn, The Paper Outpost, TalkArt. Non art ones are Liz Earle Wellbeing, Newton Health My Menopause doctor, and Happy Place. I probably don’t have time for much else but I’m always on the lookout for good podcasts so please feel free to let me know your favourites!
Until tomorrow, thanks for reading 🙂

The colors in your collage are GORGEOUS!
Awww thank you. It was intuitive for me, but hadn’t realised how it would it would affect people. Serendipity I guess.
Your homework looks fantastic, I like the “leftover” collage. It is a really clever concept to reuse work. Good job Donna (haha if my good job means anything). About the podcasts – I recently discovered Art Juice – I enjoy listening to it, and as I have gotten used to their voices/accents, I find a lot of comfort in listening to Louise Fletchers voice. Again, fantastic homework outcome!
Oh yes Art Juice is on my list, I haven’t got into it yet, thank you for reminding me though xx
