Well it's my turn. I've been tagged by Dy.
I have to tell you seven things you won't know about me and then tag seven further people to do the same.
I have to tell you seven things you won't know about me and then tag seven further people to do the same.
I've been reading all those interesting things about you all - and then trying to think what I could say about me. I asked James (my husband) what he would tell people, and so now I think I've got my seven things...
1. I love the colour turquoise. The obsession developed slowly. Then everything I had was turquoise. I'm trying to wean myself off it a bit now. The thing about turquoise is that it reminds me of beautiful blue skies and water. It also seems a fun and hopeful colour to me. I read recently that scientists at John Hopkins University had discovered that the colour of all the light in the universe is light turquoise - so I am obviously onto something...
2. I've got one of those faces...everyone thinks they know me, or I look like their sister, cousin, friend... I'll have to post a picture, so you can see for yourselves.
3. In a moment of teenage experimentation I got my friend Jackie to bleach my hair blond. As my hair is dark brown, it took a long time and I chickened out too soon - and ended up with Johnny Rotten orange!
4. I love all things creative. As I child I was demoralised by art and craft in school and gave it up at the earliest opportunity. Mum had been an art teacher. Dad was a research scientist. My brother did arts; I did sciences, psychology and became an Human Resources Manager. Now that we have moved to Australia with James' job, I'm making up for lost time - enjoying art classes and exploring textile arts, mixed media, printing (especially mono printing) and loving it. A secret (not now that I've written it here) desire is developing...to find a creative career...
5. I love nature, gardening and the great outdoors. I'm never happier than when I'm in the middle of a green space - no traffic - just me and the environment - trees, sky and birds and beasties. Today's picture is of me taking a photo of an over inquisitive kangaroo on Kangaroo Island who could smell an apple in the car! Wildlife and cameras...
6. I just love my digital camera! I confess I am a little obsessive with it. James understands that when I have it with me, he is definitely second on my priority list.
And one more...
7. I love to experiment. My creations are process driven, rarely planned completely. I currently have a bucket and a bowl with fabric and rusty metal "stewing together" in my back yard. It's very exciting. I just love rusty stuff and have been wanting to do this for ages. I've no idea, as yet, what I'll be doing with it...but I'm really looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

I am now tagging seven people that I would like to know more about. Please don't feel that you have to do this - only if you want to. (I don't do chain letters.)
