Cutlery Issues...

I am admitting up front that I may have cutlery issues

maybe issues is a bit strong

because its not like you will see me stabbing you in the hand with them

though eyes are in danger if I have to listen to much more discussion

about quantum physics or matrices from Phantom

but stabbing myself in the eye aside

 I have been constantly rifling through the draws

and gazing through the second hand store windows in search of interesting subjects

but think that even fairly boring ones are just begging to be drawn

This becoming such an obsession that I actually 

attempted to tidy out the second draw

we all have the dreaded second drawer

where all the spatulas and things go to get tangled up

its like the minute I close the draw they organise a game of utensil twister in there

so that when I open it again the cherry pipper is always on top

no clue why I bought a cherry pipper by the way 

as half the fun is being able to spit the pips into a bowl

but none the less it is always there and whatever it is that I actually wanted

has migrated to the bottom of the draw

under scary sharp things and bitey things that grab your fingers

in an attempt to protect your target

which makes me think that none of the other utensils like the cherry pipper

because they are happy to offer that sucker up every time I open the draw...  

Anyway...

I braved the draw in search of cake forks to draw

I know I had quite the selection and would like to give teaspoons a bit of a rest

after finally finishing this painting/ drawing

but it seems that the forks have migrated to a secret utensil hidey hole

and were nowhere to be found

but I'm not giving up

I am going to brave that draw again very soon

when I have had a cup of tea and some chocolate in order to steel myself

I am sure the lack of tea and chocolate is why they remained elusive

just wasn't thinking clearly...

So a new cutlery drawing has joined the series

okay not really a series as they are all pretty different

but the topic at Artists Play Room is "in series" 

and I am continuing my tradition of close enough is good enough

If the cake forks had of been found then I would have had them drawn as well

and it would have been a real series

but the dastardly second draw is winning

at this stage

That may be short lived though

because I may just make time to sneak in a second assault

as the plan is to take a mini blogging break for a week or two

starting next week

I have a couple of big projects on the go

and deadlines are starting to hover alarmingly

so in the interests of my sanity I will be concentrating on finishing them off

I will still be getting around to visit when I can

but did I mention deadlines... scary fast approaching deadlines

maybe I have deadline issues as well...xx
