If you see this, post a pic of you in sunglasses.
V, and white woman with long blonde hair, is wearing a black maxi dress with spaghetti straps and oversized sunglasses. She is slightly to the left of the frame, with the stony sand of Southend beach and the gently lapping sea filling the background. It is a beautifully sunny day, with clear blue skies and the sun is sparkling on the water.

Very posh bathroom, this. Futuristic. They even have the three seashells
Three large seashells mounted on a wall next to a frosted glass window. They are shiny and bright. One is cream with gold accents, one is striped with bands of reddish brown, and one is a bright iridescent turquoise.

#SundayPixWobjects The little #twanta gifts dotted around my home will always make me think of Wom working so hard spreadsheet wrangling to bring joy to others, and how far those ripples of joy spread out into the world. He was such a remarkable man, and they're a reminder always try to #BeMoreWom
A tiny little guy with a bead for a head, and "clothes" made of grey yarn/thread wrapped around his body. He is wearing a red knitted hat and has a cute smile with blushing cheeks. He is balancing precariously on the limb of a Christmas tree, with red tinsel behind him.A skull shaped goblet in a riot of psychedelic pastel colours swirling all over it. There is a fairly realistic almost life sized crow statue on one side of it and a dark mirror on the other.Three blue pencils, each with writing on them. One says "get your own bloody pencil" another says "mine mine mine mine mine" and the last says  "can't touch this" all are well used. In the background is a glossy green monstera plant, and the edge of a Christmas tree with a glimpse of a knitted purple star ornament hanging on it.

I got these pom poms to stuff it with, hoping they would look like cheesy footballs. They arrived a very violent orange, so not very cheese football like. Maybe they're off brand ones 🤔 #SundayPixWobjects

I haven't quite finished yet (need to do the legs, tail, and eyes) but I have been learning to crochet this wombat, so perfect share for #SundayPixWobjects Project cry count: 4, but only 2 hysterically, and one of those was when the yarn got all tangled so I'm not sure it counts.

As a veggie this doen't appeal but it was my dog's last meal, the best steak I could afford. And then some chicken, and a sausage. I offered him some veggie chicken and gave me a look that could only be interpreted as "fuck off woman" The dog beer was sniffed, but not tasted #SundayPixMemorableMeals

A woman dressed as princess Belle in her Christmas day outfit (a red velvet dress with a white bodice trimmed in roses) stands on the right of the picture, talking to more children out of shot on the other side.

I think this counts as off the beaten track, because who has ever been to Elmer Beach in Bognor Regis? I didnt see another soul there all day #SundayPixOffTheBeatenTrack
A gravel path winds between a fence post and clusters of wildflowers. There is a glimpse of golden sand beyond, and a beautiful baby blue sky, with only a couple of white, wispy, nothing cloudsThe sea kisses the shore between two rocky outcrops. The sand is wet with the outgoing tide, and reflects the blue of the sky, while golden pre-sunset light turns the rocks a deep glowing yellow. The sapphire sea is calm and peacefulThe sea ripples lazily onto the shore. In the background huge rocks are stacked as breaker. Pebbles litter the foreground. Both the pebbles in the foreground and the rocks in the background are bathed in golden, glowing light. The sky is a soft baby blue, fading to gentle yellow hues at the horizon

He was actually so kind about it I felt guilty 😂 and now the actual painting hangs in his house ❤️ Here is a copy of the original reference pic if you'd like to see.
View over the harbour at St Kilda just after sunset. The sky fades from a clear blue, through pjnky purple to a soft yellow gold. Red flags flutter in the wind and a string of fairy lights cross the foreground

When it was finished i told him it had come out a little more abstract than i intended , but i loved how the colours blended in the sky. Then, when he asked to see it, I showed him this: #SundayPixPictures
Very rough and blobby painting made with children's poster paint on an A4 piece of paper. Primary blue, red and yellow stripes make up the sky, rough brown lines and blobby red flags dominate. It looks like it was painted by a child of around 4. It was painted with my left hand, in about 3 minutes.

Not my pic but I got permission to share. This is a photo of a painting that i did of a photo my friend (whose house this now hangs in) took when visiting St Kilda in Australia. So a picture of a picture of a picture. #SundayPixPictures
The corner of a room with fresh, bright, white walls. On the left is a set of shelves, with some spray cans on the top shelf. On the right wall hangs a painting, acrylic on canvas. A blue sky fades through pink and into orange, while in the foreground are some parasols and netting, a glimpse of the sea between them. In the distance are the lights of the city, and seven red flags flutter as the centre focus of the piece.

I painted this a while ago, because i needed something to go over my sofa and buying a big canvas unpainted was cheaper 😁 I'm still not sure I like it, and at least once a month i toy with the idea of painting over it with a landscape instead. It's safe for now, because I'm lazy #SundayPixPictures
A large rectangular canvas with 8 monstera leaves of various sizes on it. A thin gold line creates a frame, and some of the leaves spill over it, so they (theoretically) look more 3D

Started a new sketchbook on friday, which was pretty good timing for this theme. I really need to work on hands. And proportions. But i get joy from the drawing, not the looking at the pics after. #SundayPixPictures
Title page of my sketchbook. A leonardo da vinci quote covers the page ("when the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art"). In the hottom left there is a skull, with floral vines growing from it. The vibes climb the edge of the page and around to the top right hand corner, where a butterfly struggles to emerge from a cocoon. Two page spread called "no probable caws" - because although there are 5 crows on the page, you can't prove it's a murder. The crows are in cartoon style. One is perched on a charity collection tin labelled "feed the crows, give lots" . He says "caw caw caw caw it's 4 good caws". On the page with him is a surprised crow saying "caw blimey"
On the other page is a crow perched on a coffee cup saying "wanna caw-fee?", another saying "caw me maybe" and an angry crow saying "f caw f"A skeleton sits smoking a cigarette, a long tendril of smoke coiling around his head. The page is titled waiting for inspirationDeath imagined as a beautiful, friendly black woman, with a flowing robe held together with an hourglass brooch. She is wearing a butterfly necklace and has a butterfly perched on her head. The page is titled "guide you home"

Dark Mirror (*) for #SundayPixMirror (* though not really because they're traditionally obsidian or volcanic glass and mine is a photo frame that I painted the back of)
A black mirror with a black frame on a shelf. Next to it is a small, dark coloured idol of Persephone, who has a silver pomegranate at her feet. Next to her is a large black cup, used as an offering bowl, a sprig of dried wheat visible inside. In front of that is a small, hand made clay statue of Cerberus, the three headed dog. It isn't very good. Next to the dark mirror is a multicoloured skull shaped chalice, an old twanta gift, and next to that is a fairly realistic looking crow

A selection of some of my book horde for #SundayPixBooks When I grow up my house will be a library with a bed in it.
The too two shelves of my built in bookshelf. Each sehlf has two rows of books on it, the bottom shelf also has a stack at each end. Also on the shelf are an antique mantle clock (stopped at 4pm), and a statue of a horse painted by my then 6 year old in surprisingly realistic colours. On the shelf above is a curved glass photo frame containing pics from my wedding, and at each end there is a stone gargoyle, both different but each picking their noseA freestanding bookshelf, mostly containing pratchett books, but also with some reference books, a few biographies, and books on ancient mythology. There are some tealights on the shelves, a devotional to Aphrodite with a small brass statue, a tealight in the shape of a flower, and a chunk of rose quartz on a small silver platter, a pile of rocks, and a small wooden car made by my then 11 year old. On top of the shelves is a red biscuit tin shaped like a double decker bus, and a devil's ivy plant that tumbles down over the edge of the shelf.A double height row of booksnon the floor below my built in shelves. These are mostly random non fiction books on the bottom row, including books on parenting, political reference books, how to books like dressmaking reference books and encyclopedia. Ok the row above are some fantasy books, including a lot of books by David Eddings.A triple row of books, with some jars on the end of the shelf and a red china pig acting as a book end for the tiny bit of space left on the third row of books. This shelf is mostly fantasy, with some witchcraft books thrown in. The shelf contains Tolkien, Garth Nix, Michael Wombat, Miranda Kate, and my own books, as well as the proof copy of A Guide to Digital Accessibility that I helped put together for the author, Sassy Wyatt.

My (super talented and awesome) daughter needed a planner but couldn't find one that met her needs, so she made her own and I'm so impressed! It's over 400 pages, so it lasts a year but can be started any time because you write the date in yourself, and it is soo pretty, look
Open book showing pale yellow pages with a pastel floral border and repeating cartoon bumble bee motif. The left page is titled Sunday and has spaces underneath to write in the date. On the page are spaces for a to do list, weekly goals, mood tracker, and work completed, plus a space for the user to write in whatever the like. The right page is titled weekly meal plan and has space for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 7 days.Pic showing the thickness of the book's spine, pages outward.

The dead and visibly rotting stump of an old tree stands in the centre of the image, surrounded by a circle of small orange and yellow fungi. There is a little green in the form of grass and bracken at the edges of the image but the ground around the stump is brown, adding to the feel of the place being a small fairy ring.A fallen log, old and rotting, being colonised by the same yellow/orange fungi.

#SundayPixFlame I've forgotten what this was for. An offering to Persephone, probably. Maybe at Halloween? 🤔 I took a picture because I loved the play of light on the pomegranate.
A white plate, surrounded by a ring of volcanic black salt. On the plate is a small clay goblet of cherry gin, an apple, some dried flowers, a stone, a sprinting of wheat, and a pomegranate.

Tomorrow we say goodbye to my beloved companion, Charlie. We got him as a very sickly 14 week old who was terrified of people, and he leaves us a happy and well loved 17 year old senior dog. I'm so grateful I got to be his person, and i will miss him.
Charlie the dog as a 6 month old pup. He is outside, on a lead, and there is some snow on the ground, so he is wearing a santa themed dog jacket, red with white fur trim. This contrasts with his black fur. He dislikes wearing clothes, but was recovering from the severe mange he had when we got him, and was fairly bald on his belly and back. He is a small, floppy eared dog, but broad chested, a mongrel with some staffie and some labrador in him. He is sitting next to me, patiently waiting to see if the person off camera intends to share their sausage sandwich.Charlie is older in this picture, around 10 years old, and is standing and looking past the camera, at a fence behind, where a pigeon has caught his attention. His coat is now glossy, and jet black, and covers him completely so he has no need for clothes. A touch of white is creeping into his beard. He is standing in an area of garden he has decided is his personal digging area, so the earth is bare, loose and crumbly.A sixteen year old Charlie, looking smaller than in the previous picture, sits on one of his many floor cushions, this particular one is under the kitchen counter. He is gazing up at the camera in a wistful way, because I'm holding a biscuit he is hoping will be for him. His entire muzzle is white, as are his eyebrows.Seventeen (almost) year old Charlie sleeps in a patch of sunshine on the living room carpet. His muzzle is white and the fur on his chest and legs is thinning, but the rest of his coat is still black, and glossy. He is content and in his happy place.
