Naughty Blogger

I'm getting frustrated with Blogger today. They've changed the settings yet again! I just about get used to the links at the top but now there's a new one called 'design' and when I click it, I get taken to a scary unfamiliar page where I'm just going to have to hyperventilate for a while............
....

Ok

I've added a list of links to the sidebar but that took me so long to do! Why why why do they need to change it?
Here is a page from my sketchbook I did yesterday in the sun and also managed to burn my neck in the process. Silly me, I had my hair up, that'll teach me!
I'm now off to tackle this week's Illustration Friday which is 'Ripple'. I've just realised it's thursday already so I'd better get a wiggle on!

Lovely new sketch. I felt the same way the first time I saw the new design thingie on blogger. If you go to the top and click on "back to blogger" it will get rid of the unfamiliar black page (at least it's black on mine). It's pretty annoying. Hopefully it will stop when they're convinced we're all aware of it.

It's driving me nuts too. Everything is in the wrong place and I lost my stats counter.

Thanks Lisa :) I did enjoy painting the dragonfly I think I'll do that again! I looked at the top at can't find the 'Back to Blogger' button, I don't seem to have it on mine. I hope they'll stop! :o)

Oooo...Jess! I love this one to bits!! Your lady here looks beautiful in a no nonsense kind of way...and so much more confident, as I said before. The dragonfly of course is absolutely gorgeous. Lovely work, sweetie! :)

I must tell my 12 years daughter about your lovely blog...
She just started to show interest indrawing.
And she is quite good at it, although she doesn`t enjoy colouring as much, so hopefully your beautiful drawings will inspire her to do it so!

Lovely work again! Blogger is very frustrating but I find the alternatives worse so I stick with it just the same.

Aw thanks Amalia! :)

Hi Debbie, I'm very honoured to be a role model, I hope I can live up to it! :)

Thanks Perp Choc! I do like Blogger but I'm scared of these changes!

Such a Wondrous Place this Faery Space said…
EEEEK! I completely agree. Hadn't noticed anything until I wanted to add something to the sidebar and went to look for the usual and design led me where I couldn't add gadgets. So, now when I sign in I know if I want to add gadgets, etc. I must do it then because I can't figure out how to after leaving the blog. Strange change. Funny that. Joy to you from Amy

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
