note added on 8/04/07:  When I saw the topic "green" for this week's Illustration Friday I immediately thought of Ethel - peas and all !

and the library card for today....

Illustration Friday: "red"
My first one for this year........
Pigment pen on paper

just because...it's Friday

here it is ...the first "just because" package ...some vintage wallpaper (more on that later) , a lovely piece of sheet music just perfect for collage or postcards, two small pieces of  vintage barkcloth (a small purse, needle case, part of a softie or just to keep because the colours are beautiful), a mix of print fabric , the first postcard that I've ever removed from my Yoshitomo Nara postcard book (that was hard) , some buttons and some trim! Of course there is some chocolate but I didn't want to distract from the rest of the booty on offer!  I'll probably put a bit more collage paper in and there's a little something that wasn't quite ready that will be in there too!

All you have to do is leave me a comment before I post the next "just because" parcel tomorrow sometime, and I will put you in the draw. And if you like a song for my new playlist ( see my previous post).
If your name comes out of the hat , its all yours for the grand sum of one hand made postcard for my wall. Easy. This is just like being a fairygodmother but without the tutu, wings and sparkle!! Bring on the pumpkins! And remember there is another one tomorrow and then again on Sunday (and you can be in all three draws if you want). I think Sundays will be themed around " crafting for a new arrival" as I have somehow amassed an awful lot of crafty stuff geared towards this end. Stay tuned...I'll post the winners names, once the gods of luck have cast their votes.....

Look at that wallpaper...how lucky am I ? I have been quietly coveting some after seeing some wonderful pieces over at Aunty cookie  and then this morning I happen across these three at the little vintage furniture place down the road.
It was just what I needed to get me going on my drawing for  Illustration Friday . I know , I know, its already Friday, but let me tell you: I have really struggled with this weeks theme "Jungle". I had almost given up on it , until this wallpaper happened. Here it is...my take on  "jungle"
