I’ve seen this floating around the blogosphere recently (among others Caity and Liz has done it) and wanted to participate

For some reason people seem to expect that just because I can draw I should have beautiful handwriting but… no. Drawing and writing has nothing to do with each other. My handwriting has been through just about the same stages as The Oatmeal’s and normally I write like a drunk badger. You should see my notes from work meetings

But for this I tried to shape up and make it readable, this is me making an effort:

If anyone else want to do it, here are the questions:
1. Name/Blog URL
2. Lefty/Righty/Ambidextrous
3. Letters you enjoy writing
4. Letters you dislike writing
5. Write “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
6. Write CRAB, HUMOR, KALEIDOSCOPE, PAJAMAS, and GAZILLION in caps.
7. Write one of your favorite song lyrics.
8. Write who should do this.
9. Any last blurb slash note

Happy Halloween and/or blessed Samhain everyone! Did you go out haunting this weekend? Or are you doing it tonight?

As for myself, I was at a big costume party on Saturday. We booked the local game hall (laser tag, darts, pinball machines etc. That sort of place) and put together a quiz walk, blowpipe target shooting and blind tasting of winegums (you were supposed to tell the colour of the winegum while blindfolded). We had about 30 people showing up, all in costumes.
It was so much fun

Some weeks ago I got hold of two beautiful black ornamented frames, but since I didn’t have anything to put in them they just ended up being put away in a drawer.

Then I got an idea…

I always save pretty things I find. Buttons, odd earrings, sequins, little ribbons etc. Everything goes into a special box in my bedroom that is full of little trinkets like that.
Well, I figured if I just took the glass off the frames I could make something using those trinkets!

I decided upon a little flat metal heart that used to be a charm on a bracelet, a little jewelled bow that fell of a bra, a big round metal ornament that I think used to be part of an earring and a black diamond-like plastic thing that I have no idea where it’s from.
I used two aquarelle papers since it’s rather thick and sturdy and drew some shapes on them with a black ink marker and added some red watercolour. Then I glued on the embellishments on each paper and added a passe-partout for each to add some depth.

Ta daa! I think it came out kinda cute
Maybe I should have worked some more with the hearts, they look a little flat. But it’s fine for now Besides, I can always draw or glue on something more later if I want to.

Do you keep small things like this too?
Or am I the only one collecting shiny stuff like a bloody magpie?
