Kirsty Hall: Diary Project envelope from the 26th July 2007
Kirsty Hall: Parse, January 2007
Although I wasn't conscious of it when I was drawing the envelope, when I saw the two images next to each other, I was struck by how very similar the shapes are.
I've been concentrating on updating The Diary Project blog this week: I'm woefully behind on it and it's getting embarrassing. I've been updating the blog in small chunks because that's all I can manage right now - writing the little musings is getting to be almost impossible. I've pretty much run out of things to say about my work: I didn't know this was possible but apparently it is!
I did an update on Sunday and another one this morning plus I'm about halfway through scanning more than a month's worth of envelopes. I scanned to the end of October yesterday and felt very pleased with myself before realising that hey, we're already half way through November.
Here's my favourite drawing from the latest update:
Kirsty Hall: Diary Project envelope from the 21st October 2007
Hopefully I'll get another chunk done tomorrow - although frankly, if I never have to write another word about my damn drawings, it'll be way too soon! In the meantime, I'm off to scan envelopes, which is time consuming but thankfully a lot less mentally taxing and I can catch up on podcasts while I'm doing it.

Rather reminds me of my accounting... being so pleased with getting it done, then realising I'm still 3 months behind. :)
So, what podcasts do you listen to then? They're a bit new to me and I'm curious which ones people recommend.

Oh lord, don't remind me of the dratted accounting! I always do it all in January in a blind hysterical panic, although I do keep all my receipts for the year, which makes it easier.
Most of the podcasts I listen to are knitting related but there are a few more generally creative ones that I like - namely Craftsanity, Craftypod, Craftcast and occasionally The Accidental Creative, the later is a bit corporate for my tastes but the others have some great stuff. Craftcast, in particular, often has good advice for artists.

Great show concept. Totally understand about the running behind thing... don't worry about it! (Says me, a stranger from the US... HAHA)
