holiday – Mixy's Art Blog

It’s August Holiday weekend, just about 24 hours into my holiday.

From finishing work on Friday through to Tuesday morning, I am off duty from day-to-day doings and beings.

I’m staying home, and I’m having some quality time with someone very dear to my heart: my Inner Kid.

We are both very excited about this.

Beginning last night, we sat down and surveyed the chaos. What to do first? Barely time to catch my thoughts and IK yells “Paper! Paper! Tearing and folding, snipping, concertina-ing, gluing, stitching, snippetty snippetty….” and then we suddenly had a little heap of these
We stay up late, we listen to the radio…
and the papery things get more intricate and fiddly

We stay up later still, eating biscuits and reading. Listen to the ideas bubble away in the background. We sleep and dream.

In the morning we go back to play. IK: Let’s make holes! Find the stabby-awl-thing and make holes to stitch the things with!! Now!

Yes! Like this! no idea why or what for but gotta make this new thing bigger and more thing-ful!!

And more directions! It needs to go in more directions!!

Yay! Now it needs a button!
