Of course, these are just my opinion. I do think people should wear whatever makes them feel good really - if you can rock socks and sandals, go you! Do you disagree/have any to suggest?

It is fun to imagine one orange fake tanned, socks and sandal wearing, speedo sporting, segway riding, bluetooth headset talking, mulletted, falling down pants and shoulder pad wearing person. I almost want to draw that!

+ Definitely bum bags/fanny packs as suggested by Puppy Love Princess.

Today I had a sick day off work and was in bed until 2pm feeling very ick. I hate sick days, because on my days off I want to be as productive as I possibly can, but today I really had to take it easy.

I've had this wooden plaque (I have no idea what to call it actually) from Spotlight for a couple of years and I've always meant to make something with it. Today I took my scissors to a Harper's Bazaar mag and a Japanese fashion magazine called Pretty Style and got to work with a glue stick. I really enjoy collaging and find it quite therapeutic, but I have trouble knowing when to stop or when something is 'finished'. I am wishing I hadn't added the hand drawn black swirls on either side in a haste at the end, but I can live with them.






I stuck all of the bits onto the board with a glue stick and then added a layer or two of PVA glue over the top to seal it. I'd love to play with some resin to finish it, but I've heard it's a bit fiddly. I think a trip to Spotlight to get more of these plaques might be in order when I'm feeling better.




Done? We'll see.

I received a very sweet little aerogramme last week from Jane and I thought I'd get straight to writing her a reply.
