I signed up for this thing called a Goodness Me box
which is a bit like a lucky dip for grown ups
remember them... I used to love Lucky dips in toy stores
the whole anticipation of not knowing what was inside
so even crap stuff like plastic soldiers were awesome if it was a surprise
although then having said crap toy soldier things stolen by your brother
and hung from your ceiling fan so it almost takes your eye out when you turn the fan on
added a whole new delicious risking life and limb to the exercise
so here is the swag... well what is left of the swag
the chocolate didn't even make it to the end of unpacking I must admit
and it is a tad decimated a few weeks in
and everything we have tried has been fabulous so the whole thing is a winner
it is a great concept as every month you get sent all sorts of healthy stuff to try out
and they send recipes and all that
and the packaging is swoon worthy
so much better than flying toy soldiers
But other than painting up the magnificent haul
I also got in and worked on more perfume bottles
this one is coming along
sort of
not quite there but there are bits I am really liking
like this bit
and especially this bit
and this larger one is starting to come together as well
though it would appear it has a bit of a wonk happening
I am hoping it is the photo as it looks ok when I look at it
maybe I will stick to this part
no discernible wonk in this bit
plus I started a drawing of my salad servers in a sketchbook
which also looks mercifully wonk free
lots and lots of work going on at the moment
which is awesome
I am thinking it is because every morning now I am greeted by this lovely light
when I come down to the studio
there is something about great light that makes the world a more inspiring place right
hope you are all similarly creating up a storm
happy painting all... xx
