Celestial bodies in my head

Tuesday 18 Sept: I had the text for this post all written and saved, or so I thought, but I must have been mistaken. Not sure I can remember what I wrote, but I'll just get on with explaining the pictures, shall I? I had some swirling lines and big dots swimming around in my head and sat down with a huge piece of paper and this is the picture that I got down. I fabric-painted it in two colourways: a warm one and a cool one. Now they look like celestial bodies to me.
It was fun to do. A bit like colouring-in when I was a child. I tried shading some of the areas, but I guess I will need to work on that. But then again, I suppose most things are about practice. "All things are difficult before they are easy" - can't remember who said that.
I don't yet know what I'll do next to these two, but I've put them aside until it occurs to me.
The Protea (see a few posts back) has also had to be put aside as I've run out of fuse. Luckily I found the shop I usually buy it from on the Net and they have email! So I emailed them and they are going to post me 20 metres of fuse - should keep me out of mischief for a while.
Today two books arrived that I ordered about a month ago from kalahari.net:
I've given the amazon.com links as they contain more info that the kalahari.net pages. I just CANNOT WAIT to get home and dive into these (work, work, work...grrr)
and speaking of which, I'm now feeling guilty, so I'd better get back there...
