free artwork

FREEBIE! First of many to come ...


Yesterday I uploaded pics of 'Puzzle Girl', a recent portrait-inspired artwork painted onto on 4 separate canvasses.

I'm really into the idea of 'paying it forward' as I feel so blessed for all of the wonderful things that have come into my life, and I want to share the love.

Plus, on a more practical note, I have NO ROOM on my walls for this little lady, so I'm giving her away!!!

Each of the four canvasses she is painted on are 30cm (12 inches) high, 25cm (10 inches) wide and 3cm (approx 1.5 inches) deep. She weighs under 2 kg including protective packaging, and she's very bright an colourful in real-life. And just like a puzzle, you can move her around and slot her together in a number of different combinations ...


Like so:

Or like so:

.
Or maybe like this?


.
Or any other way you choose!
.
So if you love her or know someone who will, just be the first to email me on chrissy_foreman@hotmail.com and she's all yours! The new owner must be willing to pay postage to your nominated forwarding address, but other than that this original artwork is a total freebie!

She'll be sent from Brisbane, Australia, so I'll look into different postage options/costs available if you're interested. Alternatively, if you live in Brisbane you can come and pick her up.

If/when she's snapped up, I'll let y'all know that she's found a new home.

Thanks for the opportunity to Pay It Forward!

having faith


Isn't life just wonderful? There are times when I go through those 'trying' periods, when I'm not sure of an outcome or how something could work out for me.
But time and time and time again - in fact EVERY TIME - life throws me a floaty or a dinghy or a luxury yacht, and I'm blown away by the awesomeness of manifestation.
I've decided it's not worth doubting anymore. My time is better spent focused on feeling a little better and choosing more wonderful thoughts than I had the moment before. That's it! And then, all the while I'm feeling progressively great, along comes another little surprise and I'm off on some new treasure hunt!
Life is grand, it really is, just like an unfolding art piece.

stuff


I'm not avoiding my blog, but the is defo a-void on my blog - I haven't uploaded much in the last coupla weeks. My dear new camera is in surgery land getting well again, so hopefully he'll be home soon to play & I can upload some new pics.
In the meantime, here's a picture of my puppy-dawg Jakey. He also hasn't been too well lately, so hopefully you can all send him a little love and healing. He's dressed for the occasion.

Crayon Physics

OMG check this out -- I'm not usually into computer games, but hubby came across this one, and it is TOTALLY AWESOME! It involves drawing pictures & creating objects with your mouse, which actually then become part of the game. Seriously addictive and seriously cool! Apparently it was written and created by just one guy. Supporting independent artists is my bag! Click on this little demo below. Yeehaa!
