• fined out how to add new brushes to photoshop i did that it's easy
• find and download some free brushes i did that it was easy
• add the new brushes to photoshop and i got up a widow telling me the brushes are not compatible with the old photoshop i have on my aging pc
• create some new artwork in photoshop using new brushes and post on blog well that not going to happen now is it

door21 a man with a plan

so my plan was this go to the Isabel Hospice shop in waltham cross where just abbot everything is a pound and buy a duvet cover or a pair of curtains and try and make something out of them ( i hadn't got as far as working out what that something was to be) but the best lay plans of mice and men often go awry (usually after a augment about cheese) and all they had was some pillow cases and tea towels so i left empty handed and defeated and went for a look round the other charity shop waltham cross has to offer and got myself a copy of dave gorman's googlewhack adventure

a book about a man with a plan to wright a novel but get distracted by a game involving a well know internet search engine

door 20 yes another t

door 16 death of puppets

my puppet now has his own hooded robe made out of some old jeans he still need a bit more work like finding a way to keep his hood for drooping down for over his eye sockets and i think a broach would be a good finishing touch

door 15 puppet longstocking

today i have been to the magical realm of poundland on a quest for a powerful stripy sock and came back victorious with not one but two legendary stripy socks

one has all ready been cut open to make the neck for my boney puppet who has also had a lick of paint 

door 14 puppet continued

i have now built the bottom jaw reshaped the tip of the top jaw and filled in the eye sockets so you can't see my hand inside but you can see in to one and out the other

door 13 boning up on puppets

as you know i had redecorated there living room but it was a little dark in fact to get yesterdays photo i had to turn all the lights on plug in numerous laps out of shot and i still had to use the flash so to bounce the light round (and to save painting the whole wall)i have put up a mirror or two

door 9 thinking of spending money

i.m not much of a spender in fact you wouldn't be unjustified in call me tight. but im an toiling with the idea of buying my self a flip mino hd camcorder not the newest one obviously 79.99 ? im not made of money. but the first flip mino hd is 49.99 is more in my price range but not low enough for me to um and arr about it
what i want to go is try doing some video art my only attempt at this was at a old Digital camera

i have had a look at mobile phones with camera but i don't think i would get the recoding quality i want at a good prices (on o2 pay as you go)
any one got any suggestion on any thing else to consider that may be better value than the flip and should i what till January to see if the flip mino 2 go down to £50 or the flip mino get cheeper?

door 8 not a gun

not had time to work on my gun today but here is something else i have been working on i a have made a paper mache copy of head by covering bit of here in gluey paper the peeling them of and sticking the together and as you can see on this occasion she was waring safety goggles. it has now had a layer of gloss paint and will soon have a paint-ball splat mark added when i work out where i want it
