I know, I know, its serious

When I get bored on my holidays I try and get inspired. I tried to become artistic and create stuff, which usually ends up with a whole load of junk that I will later trash. At that time I remember all the cold, Adelaide winters that i spent in front of the television, watching Art Attack! and become increasingly mad as i could not create the stuff that he made. I would jump to many conclusions, he was an alien being one of them (well, he was in a New Wave band). In the end I learnt to accept that my "funny faces" (which in fact was just a face drawn on clay and then bent, but at the time it sounded so completely awesome, you had to make one, whatever the fight with your parents. You bloody well needed to make that funny face) would never look as good as Neil Buchanan (who is not dead) and ended up trying to attack my cat with a coat hanger instead.

But, here are my last attempts at something creative in the holidays, stitchings based on song lyrics. Yes, I was bored and yes, it just happened by coincidence after I sat staring at them for ages due to my obvious boredom.

"Love is a Battle Field" being the first one and "Feed the Trees" being the second. After a while I tried to create more, come up with new designs and perhaps have an entire quilt. This idea failed as I tried to draw a Girlfriend in a Coma.
