My 2015 Christmas card illustration

Have a Great one everyone!!

Greenwich Stall

I had a stall selling some of my card designs and illustrations a few weeks ago. It was a windy day (storm Clodagh I believe) and despite my best effort to organise things nicely it would only take a whooosh of wind to scatter my entire display!The wind will not deter me and I plan to do more in the New Year

 The weekend after my Greenwich Stall I attended a 'Day of Wonder' which was run by The Sunday Assembly. When we arrived we sang power ballads to wake us up- which it really did! The day was filled with inspirational speakers, debates/ideas and I left feeling very passionate, positive and grateful to be on this earth. I really enjoyed the 'Mind Apples' presentation and tree. On the tree you could write your tips for keeping your mind healthy/maintaining happy mental health.

Highlights

I LOVE Halloween and this year I've been watching alot of Ru Paul's Drag Race (below my fav Jinx!) so was very inspired by the women's costumes and attitudes. I wanted to choose someone from History/Legend who was a strong, visually fierce woman. I choose Medusa because it was a chance to use PAPER MACHE again (yayyyy) for the snakes headpiece and have big hair.  The dress was from ebay and wasn't really the best but I like green velvet so it was ok. We went to The Vaults in Waterloo, they'd gone all out with the themed rooms/decor/music which is right up my street!

 

Improv 2015

This year I've done a horrible job keeping this blog up to date. It is not that I haven't had fun experiences or seen any greats shows/events It's just that I've let time run away with itself!! My main highlight this year was a trip to Vancouver, San Fransisco and then L.A (Hollywood). I've always wanted to visit Hollywood and take an acting class there so I attended one at the Actors Improv Studio in North Hollywood with Bill Applebaum. I also signed up for a show at 'The Second city' where audience members could perform short scenes with 2 hosts shouting directions. This year has been good for improv and me, the group I'm part of 'CSI Crime Scene Improvisation' played several Sold Out Shows at: Brighton Fringe, Camden Fringe and Leicester Square Theatre! We also played The Bridewell Theatre raising money 'The Samaritans' (a very worthy cause!).
