Weekly Challenge 93 - Bunzo!

Weird few days really.  Went out with a couple of friends and Matt yesterday, got horribly drunk and probably made a right ass of myself... Never mind these things happen.  I was feeling a bit celabratory however as I had just gotten a job .. as a restaurant manager at a low key (hopefully low stress) cafe / restaurant in the valley. It came from a job that I applied for about three weeks ago, had a 2.5 hour interveiw for and never heard anything more about.  I'm pleased to say that it will be part time so will not interfere with my art and will give me much needed funds for pouring into afore-mentioned art work..YAY.

My first ever article got published this week as well, all about the joy of scribble drawing.  Its kind of like tangling but in a large scale and less formal.  I find tangling quite formal in the way that the drawings come about.
The article is at all things healing and if you would like to read about it then you can find it here:

Also I got my stall approved for The Sacred Tree Market.. am so excited its just unbelievable!!  I have so much to do!!  I am really looking forward to it.  I will be selling cushions made from my hand painted fabrics, the fabrics themselves, tangles on canvas, prints of my art work and anything else I can think up!!

Anyway here is my tangle for the challenge and another one I cooked up yesterday before I got involved in a wine bender :-P

Guinea Pigs and a Carp

Is it possible that Guinea Pigs are carbohydrate addicts?  I have 6 free range guinea pigs that live under my house, well, they belong to the neighbour if every one had their own. These furry fellows have chosen to live here however and they love bread, bananas, parnips (in that order) followed by carrots, strawberries, apples and grapes.
I am trying to get them used to me so have been feeding them by hand for the last couple of weeks, but they are so skittery its an exercise in patience, or frustration depending on the day.
 I have managed to pat one of them, Cousin of Sack Barrow, a floppy eared black and tan fellow. Very cute and not quite as scaredy as the others.. is it sad that I have named guinea pig that aren't even my own?

Here is todays feeding:

Anyway enough about the small furry ones.. what have I been up to, apart from feeding the GP's? Well I spent all day on Saturday working on a poster for the Olive Tree Market Christmas poster comp and then I decided that it was tripe..dont you hate that? spend all day on some thing (well two if count drawing) and it turns out utter bollocks, Hmm never mind I felt a little better one I had done this:

its a carp and I'm bloody happy with it... I had never been able to draw fish before but I woke up on saturday morning just knowing how to do this .. weird but hey I'll take it :-) thanks very much to Zentangle for this really.. it has really helped me unstick in a lot of ways.
