I’ve not picked up my Doodle Diary for a few months and  I was just trying to reflect on the last few months, weeks,days,hours, minutes and seconds..

I ran my first Cut-Out animation workshop in the Mac Suite at the Quad-It went well. I made a footballer to demonstrate how to make a movable paper character .

I went into a Derby School and helped run a Comic Life Workshop, Comic Life is a really child friendly piece of software to teach Children Literacy and story making.

On Valentines Day I chilled and had a big bunch of  12 beautiful red roses and chicken & chips with salad and lots of glasses Pinot Grigio wine- well a few!! Hick up!

Lazzatti are keeping me buzy too and I did a poster for the Long Eaton Art Room.
