If you're contemplating bed, you could do worse than a bedtime story written and read by @wombat37.bsky.social. His one starts about 6mins and 20 secs in, ish, if you want to skip straight to it.

Last year my aim had been to get my living room redecorated before xmas 2024.
Tbf if i did what everyone before me had done and just slapped another thick layer of gloss over all the doors i would be long since done. But *no*, i just had to try and strip them back to wood, didn't I? Sakes.

This remains one of my fave paintings I've ever done. Not least because the whole month i spent on it i was giggling away to myself because i was planning a little prank on the person who took the reference pic (who i intended to give the painting to)

Not my pic but I got permission to share. This is a photo of a painting that i did of a photo my friend (whose house this now hangs in) took when visiting St Kilda in Australia.
So a picture of a picture of a picture. #SundayPixPictures
The corner of a room with fresh, bright, white walls. On the left is a set of shelves, with some spray cans on the top shelf. On the right wall hangs a painting, acrylic on canvas. A blue sky fades through pink and into orange, while in the foreground are some parasols and netting, a glimpse of the sea between them. In the distance are the lights of the city, and seven red flags flutter as the centre focus of the piece.

I painted this a while ago, because i needed something to go over my sofa and buying a big canvas unpainted was cheaper 😁
I'm still not sure I like it, and at least once a month i toy with the idea of painting over it with a landscape instead.
It's safe for now, because I'm lazy #SundayPixPictures
A large rectangular canvas with 8 monstera leaves of various sizes on it. A thin gold line creates a frame, and some of the leaves spill over it, so they (theoretically) look more 3D

Started a new sketchbook on friday, which was pretty good timing for this theme. I really need to work on hands. And proportions. But i get joy from the drawing, not the looking at the pics after.
#SundayPixPictures
Title page of my sketchbook. A leonardo da vinci quote covers the page ("when the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art"). In the hottom left there is a skull, with floral vines growing from it. The vibes climb the edge of the page and around to the top right hand corner, where a butterfly struggles to emerge from a cocoon. Two page spread called "no probable caws" - because although there are 5 crows on the page, you can't prove it's a murder. The crows are in cartoon style. One is perched on a charity collection tin labelled "feed the crows, give lots" . He says "caw caw caw caw it's 4 good caws". On the page with him is a surprised crow saying "caw blimey" On the other page is a crow perched on a coffee cup saying "wanna caw-fee?", another saying "caw me maybe" and an angry crow saying "f caw f" A skeleton sits smoking a cigarette, a long tendril of smoke coiling around his head. The page is titled waiting for inspiration Death imagined as a beautiful, friendly black woman, with a flowing robe held together with an hourglass brooch. She is wearing a butterfly necklace and has a butterfly perched on her head. The page is titled "guide you home"

Stayed up late making art, woke up late wrapped in super soft sheets, now eating a leisurely breakfast of crusty tiger bread thickly slathered in butter in a heated, book-lined room while I look out at the fog. I feel I've fulfilled the dreams of my ancestors

I've just opened my shop on Kofi! 😀🥳

I've only got a couple of digital books so far, but I will be adding more, AND I will be selling signed copies of my books too.

Dark Mirror (*) for #SundayPixMirror
(* though not really because they're traditionally obsidian or volcanic glass and mine is a photo frame that I painted the back of)
A black mirror with a black frame on a shelf. Next to it is a small, dark coloured idol of Persephone, who has a silver pomegranate at her feet. Next to her is a large black cup, used as an offering bowl, a sprig of dried wheat visible inside. In front of that is a small, hand made clay statue of Cerberus, the three headed dog. It isn't very good. Next to the dark mirror is a multicoloured skull shaped chalice, an old twanta gift, and next to that is a fairly realistic looking crow

A selection of some of my book horde for #SundayPixBooks
When I grow up my house will be a library with a bed in it.
The too two shelves of my built in bookshelf. Each sehlf has two rows of books on it, the bottom shelf also has a stack at each end. Also on the shelf are an antique mantle clock (stopped at 4pm), and a statue of a horse painted by my then 6 year old in surprisingly realistic colours. On the shelf above is a curved glass photo frame containing pics from my wedding, and at each end there is a stone gargoyle, both different but each picking their nose A freestanding bookshelf, mostly containing pratchett books, but also with some reference books, a few biographies, and books on ancient mythology. There are some tealights on the shelves, a devotional to Aphrodite with a small brass statue, a tealight in the shape of a flower, and a chunk of rose quartz on a small silver platter, a pile of rocks, and a small wooden car made by my then 11 year old. On top of the shelves is a red biscuit tin shaped like a double decker bus, and a devil's ivy plant that tumbles down over the edge of the shelf. A double height row of booksnon the floor below my built in shelves. These are mostly random non fiction books on the bottom row, including books on parenting, political reference books, how to books like dressmaking reference books and encyclopedia. Ok the row above are some fantasy books, including a lot of books by David Eddings. A triple row of books, with some jars on the end of the shelf and a red china pig acting as a book end for the tiny bit of space left on the third row of books. This shelf is mostly fantasy, with some witchcraft books thrown in. The shelf contains Tolkien, Garth Nix, Michael Wombat, Miranda Kate, and my own books, as well as the proof copy of A Guide to Digital Accessibility that I helped put together for the author, Sassy Wyatt.

Went to 4 supermarkets today and they had all run out of pumpkins, and I'm not risking life and limb to carve turnips, so we improvised. The visiting kids seemed to like it! #Halloween

Last week I went to a party (very out of character) where I didn't know anyone (wildly out of character), while dressed as a pirate (even more out of...well actually no, a lot of the clothes were already in my wardrobe). Past Me could never.
Anyway:

Some twanta gifts throughout the years, this pic shows soft thick red socks a gingerbread man shaped bath bomb, and some chalk markers A pair of thick red reindeer socks and a multicoloured skulk shaped goblet A "do it later" planner for creative procrastinators from 2020 and a pack of pencils that say things like "I picked it so it's mine" and "don't steal my pencil" that just still use to this day.

I also can't find the pic we took the very first time I met @wombat37.bsky.social but I love this one we took when the #SummerRealm crew got together so much I plonked it on top of a map of the realm

From left to right: Lisa, Wombie, Miranda and V, standing in front of a map of the Summer Realm. Visible are place names like Saher Desert, Thukrum, Wombat's Paw, Darkwood, and the Firebird Oasis.

When Wombie made me this I pinned it to my vision board 😂 I'm sure there was a book cover one too, but I can't find it, very annoying.
