Bubble #2

Still very very slightly hungover.

However.

Slay (he had a day off today) made me a bacon sandwich when I woke up around midday, and after copious tea and many painkillers I dragged my sorry arse into Banbury. I wanted to buy some new underwear, hair dye and arty-farty stuff but--

M&S was full of idiots, Superdrug only do boring colours these days so scrap the first two and head for the art shop. They're having a sale, so I bought two honking great canvases (34" x 40"), some acrylic paints and some new brushes, being as my old ones are dead as doornails.

And an easel. I've never had a proper easel before. It rawks.

Anyway, Jon and I are working on a little project to brighten the studio up which we'll implement while Chris is on holiday. hence me buying two canvases - one to screw up re-learning everything I've forgotten about painting over the years, and one for the 'final' piece!

Slay's out tonight, so I foresee a bit of a snooze on the sofa followed by a mad attack on the painting... wish me luck, y'all!

Good luck!

Do we get to see the painting?

[madandy.livejournal.com]

Only if I don't fuck it up completely!!!

Wow, that sounds exciting! I second the call to see the finsihed product.

Re. the hair dye...I've found that going into the Very Pose-y Goffik type shops tends to lead to fun shades of hair dye. They had a tiny shop in Sheffield that seemd to have every colour under the sun!

Bearing in mind the utter disaster of tonight's hair dyeing, i suspect it'll be a long, long time - if ever - before I try anything funky with my hair again! I shall be lucky if it doesn't all fall out.

(Full story with photos tomorrow.)

Cool, hopefully you'll post a picture of the finished product? *poke poke* :)

[madandy.livejournal.com]

Provided it isn't too awful, I probably will ;)

(As for the poking - how's the writing coming?)

Slow. I still haven't figured out how I want Uli & Dirk to get together. Kai's part is easy because they're already in a relationship. I also don't know if I'm going to have Dirk be the pursuer or the one being pursued.

A painting for the studio? Yet another reason to come & pay you a visit sometime... unfortunately it looks like my half term week is going to be too full for sneakily getting a tattoo without letting anyone know until afterwards :-(

Mind you, my driving instructor seemed to imply that he expects me to get through my tests fairly swiftly, so maybe I could pop along after school some point when I've got my driving licence... Yay! yet another reason for finally getting my tests out of the way!

And yay for bacon butties to aid hangover-recovery!

At some point I might post something in my journal, instead of just rabbitting in comments to yours...

*Laughs* Rabbit away! I hope you get through the driving test easier than I did - third time lucky, it was.

But yes - you must get up to the studio and have a cup of my excellent tea! (And let me ink you too, natch!)

Well I've already failed my driving test once :-)

Ooooh, tea as well as ink? Fantastic!
