Blog Award!


I am honoured to have been awarded this Premio Meme award by artists Doreen Cross of http://www.dorsart.blogspot.com/ and Karie Ann Cooper of http://www.artbykarie-ann.blogspot.com/.

Doreen(Dors) does stunning graphite works and Karie Anne impresses with detailed animal and wildlife works in coloured pencil on drafting film. Take a peek at their blogs!

A requirement of this award is that I list 7 things about myself so here we go:


  1. I love the smell of new books and different paper textures.

  2. I love reading! (Mainly crime fiction and sailing biographies)

  3. I love the way a drawing begins flat (2D) and comes to life like a sculpture almost (3D)!

  4. I love my Nikon SLR camera which I purchased last year. I did a photography course to learn how to use it properly. If the house burned down apart from people and my pet Frisky my camera is what I would grab!!

  5. I love sailing-both cruising and racing. I have sailed since I was 15 years old.

  6. I like to keep fit by running and swimming.

  7. I love outdoor activities, space and freedom. Totally Sagittarian!!

This award now must be passed on to 7 others so here we go; Karie-Ann Cooper and Doreen Cross should be listed here but since they gave the award to me I don't want to start a ping-pong game!!
