#365creatives day 11-12 David Bowie died today

It was an immense day of everything David Bowie on Monday. I have always realised how much of an influence Bowie has been on our culture, in world, not only in the UK, but until you see it and feel it and hear about it, you'll never really understand. Grown men crying over childhood loss. Maybe even a small part of their inner teenager had died that day.

So I had no other choice but to draw the first image I felt compelled to draw of the man himself. I loved him for being a game changer. For sticking out of the crowd, so I chose this outfit. Satisfyingly dynamic.

The next day I was at work and there's lots of great little things hanging out on the shelves in the office. So after a rather profound event yesterday, I wanted to lighten the mood with this fella... Ben's handmade elephant!

#365creatives day 10

...and the next two. 

Day 9 - This is my beloved leather bag from Paris. I love it but it's too small to fit everything I need. So a new bag on the horizon. This was a 40th bday pressie. It's hard when you are attached to something that doesn't serve you anymore. Time to size up. : /

Day 10 - I wear my wellies everyday during the Winter and Autumn. Where I walk the dog is so so muddy. The woods are knee deep and all the paths are slippery and so wet. Wading through the mud reminds me to accept and just wade on through. Embracing the unbalanced nature of the whole affair, to hold my stomach muscles and steady myself until I reach firm ground. This makes it feel ok. : )
