Drawings Part 2

Hello.
Let me tell you a little snippet about myself. My comfort zone is sitting down drawing. With Beautiful Epic Music in my ears. There.
As promised, a second lot of drawings. For some reason which I cannot fathom, a few of my drawings come out sepia and others don't. It's very strange. If anyone can tell me why, please do so. :)


My first drawing of of Mum. I love her to bits. She's one of my best friends, as well as a really great Mum. I can't express in words how you mean to me, Mum... I love you.

Brave, awesome person... with a beautiful smile! :D

This is copied off of "Breakfast in Bed" by Mary Cassat.

The next one, I wanted it to be almost out a fairytale... not sure what to call it though. :)

I didn't like it really, but people who I showed it to seemed to! :)

I hope you enjoyed them!

Drawings Part 1

 Dear everyone, I just want you to know, I don't only take photos. I draw, too. So here are a few of mine, old and new.

First of all, I just want to point out that I used the camera for the drawings because our scanner doesn't work very well.

I'll start with Mum. She has been my muse for a long time, maybe because she's the only one in my family who actually sits still long enough for a portrait. Here are three portraits of her with varying degrees of skill... (I don't know when I drew them, I could have been 11-14)

Nice crease through the middle, eh? 

This one's an old one, evidently! :)

For some reason, the next drawing came out sepia... strange! Oh well. 

This one is copied off of the Potato Eaters by Vincent van Gogh. It took me ages to finish this one! 

Don't you love the moody lighting and the potato features on the people? 

Here are some fruits for you! :) Drawn more recently, with charcoal and grey paper.

Here's a lovely eagle. Not my best, but it'll have to do. :)

Pen and ink; fun to draw with but unforgiving!

There you have it.
I'll probably give you another installment of my drawings later, but for now, toodle-oo!

A Few Friends

Hi!

I happened to have the camera with me on the last day of Co-op so guess what happened. I took photos.

Here are a few of my friends. 

The lighting's rather bad but it looks quite interesting on Shiloh's hair!

These four...!! <3

How very pretty!

Photo by Shiloh. Love you, Sarah!

Warm, very warm light!

Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Cassie, Frisbee and Cake

Hello everyone. 

Guess what?

A party took place on Saturday and I had a lot of fun with some of my best friends in the whole wide world. :)

Cassie the extraordinary turned 16 and we all celebrated with frisbee, pass the parcel, and cake. 

Micah's so cool with sunglasses and all!

Shake dat parcel, Shiloh!

hmmmmm...

Cute!

Gosh gosh gosh I love this!!! And you'd better love it too, Ginny! 

Awwww

Cassie and her characteristic laugh :)

The beautiful birthday girl!

Cassie, you are such a blessing to me! I always feel joyful when you're around. May God bless you with many years in His service! :) Love you!

Hello and goodbye

Hello.

I guess I have some explaining to do. 

You see, it's not like I wanted to take a long long holiday off of my blog. It just... happened. 

Plus, I haven't really taken enough photos to justify a blog post. Even this one only has three photos. Sorry. I have a feeling I should have put Co-op photos on... but unfortunately the good ones were lost. 

Enough of the apologies. On with life! Yesterday Heather Conwell came over and we had a blast, a picnic, and a swim. Last minute, I took a couple of photos in the front yard to commemorate the time we had together in person. 

I like this photo. :)

Two friends! One with a headscarf. One with a really wonky smile. :)

Mini book necklaces. I've been going crazy making these things. They're adorable.

I am very thankful to have Heather as a friend. I'm thankful that we kept up Skyping and emailing and lettering throughout the whole year. I am often guilty of not keeping in touch with people. Somehow though, this time it worked. Here's a quote I love: "Friends are friends forever if the the Lord's a Lord of them."
See you next time on Skype, Heather! :)

My Parents' 25th

Woohoo! They've been married for 25 years! I love my parents. I love how they love each other! :)

They may spat once in a while but Dad always lets Mum win...

Co-op Camp

This Co-op camp was a memorable one. It was a weekend of relaxation...

Fun and games...

Friendship...

Silliness :)

Pretty faces...

And the inevitable - photobombs.

These made me laugh out loud - I hope they made you laugh out loud too!
