The 6th in the 6th

melanie tagged me. I don't usually do memes. Not because I'm against them or anything. I usually have the intention of doing them. But then I just don't get to it. But this one had me checking my folders and before I knew it I was at the point where I may as well just post it now.

I took this photo when I was working on the composition for an exercise in my uni course. I wasn't that happy with the final result so I didn't post it here. May as well now that I've been outed! Actually I think it is just the colours I'm a little disturbed by...
And what's the meme? You have to post the 6th photo in the 6th folder in you Pictures folder and blog about it. I've got a Mac so I don't have 6 folders in my Pictures folder. So I chose the 6th folder in the photos from this year. I'm assuming there are no meme police.
I'm not going to tag anyone specifically, but if you'd like to do this please post a comment so I can see what you found in your folder! I'd like to see!

An update on my post from last night. The Etsy shop opened to raise money for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal has made 24 sales and raised $450 already! Such a good response. How can you help? No matter where you are in the world you can visit the shop, browse the items donated by lots of different makers, and buy something. 100% of funds will go to the appeal and your item will come to you in the mail in normal shipping time.



If you are an artist or crafter you can visit the store and donate an item or items by clicking the 'contact OzBushfireAppeal' link on the right hand side. Send them a description and photos for the listing. Once your item has sold you will be advised who to send the item to. You pay the shipping. You can do this regardless of where you are in the world.

The response has been fantastic. We all want to help. There is so much help needed. I guess if we all do our little bit it will add up to a whole lot of help!

Bushfire appeal

We are all horrified by the situation in Victoria with the bushfires and incredible loss of life and damage to property. All my gorgeous friends who are DUSTers (Down Under Street Team at Etsy) are rushing in to help as much as possible. We've opened a new shop at Etsy where 100% of the purchase price is donated to the Red Cross appeal and all items have free shipping including international shipping. There hasn't been time to shift all the donated items in to the new shop yet so this thread in the Etsy Forum has details of others who are donating as we speak (well, type really). I have had time to update a few of my original art prints in my own shop to be included in the appeal, but really, if you want anything from my shop, contact me and I'm sure it will be fine to be a part of the 100% donation deal.

Please help! Click on the images above to link to the listing in my shop. Or visit Etsy via the links in the above paragraph to buy something else and still help the Victorian Bushfire appeal. Thank you.

My favourite beach

I just uploaded these photos to the Moly_x_25 blog and thought I'd put them here too. I drew this today and it is in Kerry's Moleskine. You can read the post here.
This is my favourite rock on my favourite beach. (If I ever tell you I don't believe in favourites, don't believe it, OK.)
I can tell you it was hot there today!
