Beginning the new routine, not working so much and returning to my studio time. I guess that's how I see my days after mailart 365. So I'm reading - although I am sure it is re-reading, but I can't remember a thing of what I am reading, so you never know... and one of the artist I'm reading is Wolf Khan.  HIS COLOUR.  My sister gave me his pastel book when I was teaching full time, 8 or so years ago, and I began my day reading that.  This summer I visited Ashely Bryan on little Cranberry Island, we  spend summers on Great Cranberry Island.

I realised that I couldn't let the 29th of February 2012 pass by with out a few leaping creatures to commemorate it as like the Olympics and The World Cup it only comes by every four years!

Another artistamp made from photo of art installation in Paris.

Made using a photo I took of this art installation very close to The Pompidou Centre in Paris, kiss, kiss! Hard to believe it was a week ago today when I arrived!

According to our wise friend Mr. I.N. Ternet today is macaroni day so I lay my hands on a cook book and with the help of Photoshop I made this little mailart recipe! The girls and I are big macaroni cheese fans so thinking we'll make some this weekend.

Today (24th May) would have been Queen Victoria's birthday (she would be 192!) so you can imagine how amused she might be by this rather regal looking artistamp!

I did have this artistamp alongside another piece uploaded yesterday which was Friday 13th but for some reason with all the technical problems Blogger was having that posting has now gone. Anyhow, here is this artistamp and the other piece I will save for tomorrow (15th) - all very mysterious, maybe there is something behind all this Friday the 13th business.....!

I made this a week ago. I am getting behind on blogging, but I am doing alright with creating.

I am really enjoying the roller derby theme right now. I am having lots of fun with it.

I had a scrimmage at practice tonight. Our team lost, but it was so much fun! Its was a great practice because our league has 2 games this month. I am playing in both of them, hopefully I survive in tact. I am back and on a roll! More to come tomorrow...
