When I was a pre-teen I have a zodiac colouring book - these are derivative and were lots of fun to make. I have been so busy plastering, lime washing, working and today spending a delightful day with my Niece and nephew that I am empty when i begin my daily mail art. I never know what will happen and am surprised again every day when I find something to say, even if it's just I that I love to play with colour!

Remembering an inspiring teacher
I was sorry to hear that Vita Petersen had died. Vita was my first life drawing teacher. I was 12 and remember Vita covering the window to the art room door with paper to keep prying eyes out. With Vita I looked carefully at Matisse's Odalisque with Raised Arms and today when I go to my life drawing group, I hear Vita's voice in my head as I follow a contour. #45/365 http://mailart365.blogspot.com/
