Eye candy

Last night was one of those evenings where I needed to relax and only the gentle swooshing of paintbrush over paper was going to do it. However, it says something about my mood that the first thing that came to mind was this eye candy!

Do you worry? I know I do. It's that time of the month though, when the alien surfaces and niggles at the sensibilities. When things get thrown (it's OK - just small things, plastic, non-dangerous - I'm not that bad!). I have been known to growl though, that's when family members know to back away. So frankly, I think you should be grateful that joke sweeties is all you had to put up with!

I'm still trying to sketch my fairy for my final homework assignment at Tam's Magical Mythical Making class. This is as far as I got. I want my fairy to have big eyes and sharp features but retain a gentle look. More work needed I think!


Why not pop along to Sunday Sketches and see what delights everyone else is drawing up.

PS: Is anyone else having a problem with blogger where it constantly signs you out. Sometimes I'm having to login almost every time I want to leave a comment. Driving me nuts I can tell you!

PPS: As of this morning, I am pleased to report that the alien has returned from whence it came and calm and order is one more restored in this household. Until this time next month.... whaa haaa haaa haaaa......

  20. Very clever eye candy! I think this is very mild - when its my time of the month I either create with a hint of violence or melancholy or both. LOL. ;-) Actually, the main thing I do is hiss, growl & throw evil 'die'looks! Kat :-)
