Volte-face

I am predictable, I know. And yes, I am very easily influenced by the people and events around me. I might try to deny it, and pretend to be diffrent. But the honest truth is; I am just as unique as everyone else. (oxymoron right there!)....
And as usual, as everyone becomes a little disenchanted with fashion and all things sartorial towards the end of summer, so I have I found myself thinking about the vain and superficial obsessions with current trends and all the pretty clothes. Hence to save any sort of common sense and individuality I still have left, I have turned my attention to the space I live in. A much more sensible and less superficial preoccupation, don't you think?

It's refreshing to see people still proud of their culture and traditions, not affected by modernity. We often forget who we are, where we come from, and how precious everything is.

Love the skin you're in.

I'll have to relocate soon to be nearer to school and as always the thought of something new, in this case a flat or apartment has got me all excited. Just the anticipation alone has got me looking for all sorts of ideas online on how to make the new place unique.
Here are some pretty good ideas I'd like to incorporate into the space in some way or other.

Playtime

Had a really great time playing with clay today.My brother has tis special clay that sir dries [no need to put in the oven] and becomes bouncy when dry.

Bostik crazy clay

I made this "dallmation" as a key holder for my little sister

sorry the pictures aren't very clear

my first attempt was this worm which my sister insists is a snake.

I made this shark for my brother but it looks more like an aeroplane, doesn't it?

Wishing all those about to return to school all the best.
