The End is Nigh?

The clouds that I could see from my house tonight were completely apocalyptic! Absolutely incredible. Roughly aboooout half ten/eleven? The sky was a really deep dark blue, straight out of a painting and the clouds were as close to black as possible without being black. It was so dramatic my camera didn't even pick it up properly. Consulted my little weather book and think it may be Stratus Fractus? "Dark, rapidly changing, ragged wisps of cloud"? Very, verrrry dark.

Very exciting. Must remember to tell little Amy!

"it seems very itchy to me ..."

Moving into the Garage.

Looked into the bizarre combination of plumbing/anatomy and realised that it was DULL. I think in an attempt to make an audience think of the pipes in a more personal way I went for too literal and obvious a choice. SO decided that Peter Pan was what I was going to write. Something completely unrelated, something that I enjoy and want to share?

Went in on Saturday to start writing on the Garage pipes, didn't take that long and didn't get too far into the story. Didn't go that far up the wipes though and so spent all day yesterday [Monday] painting over the writing and then writing it out again. This time with a ladder and so the writing goes ALL the way up the pipe, disappearing into the black paint/fresh white paint line.
Besides being sure at some points that I was going to die [every time Alice came into the room she yelled "KATIE!" which made me nearly fall off my high, high ladder perch.], I am PLEASED. Think it's very successful formally, and works well with the other lines in the space.


Pictures to follow!

Flash of Colour.

These were two of my main colour attempts. Not that keen on them, think the blue looks great - excellent colour - but too simple? Although I enjoy the abstract form of the pipes I think subtlety is really important and the writing works far better.

Hot and cold colours were not on purpose.

What the Hell?!

I have no idea what I think of this, except that initially it seems like the biggest load of shit I've heard in a while. Way to stereotype.
