Weekend in Pictures

A while since I put up polaroid pictures though I keep taking - and manipulating - them all the time.

Did a spot of painting. Since my work is desk bound with words, words and more words, I try to keep the weekends for walking and doing something with my hands. Still working off simple Indian motifs, this one was inspired by bright Benarasi sarees. I don't care overly about technique, its great fun to splash bold colour. Also found the cousin's painting of a squirrel done when she was about age 9-10. She is of course an actual artist and needs a separate post rather than having her work reside beside my school level stuff.



Went to the city and photographed the clock at QVB. With the throng of shoppers it is rare that one stops and admires the ceilings and fixtures of the building. Took home the "barista style" coffee cup that is being introduced in city coffee shops - and at a reasonable price. It is expected to last about 3 years. All the convenience of takeaway without the guilt of throwing away the cup.


Found the most glorious Freis chiffon dress which fits me beautifully, perfectly. Joy. Also started some knitting. The wools are often so beautiful though that I am tempted to pile them on and display as with these wool toadstools of last year.
