Alton Towers - Spooky woods adventure

So here is where I was last weekend and it is why I haven't posted anything crafty too, believe me, it's coming soon. Meanwhile I thought it was best to share my little snaps from the little trip. Sorry if you think this was about the new ride! Unfortinately the Smiler doesn't open until May anyway! So after conquering Oblivion, Rita (front seats) and Nemesis sub-zero and the rest. I decided to take the next day easy until I got bored and suggested me, my bf's sister and his sister-in-law to go on a little adventure!

It was already 6pm in the evening but us three girls decided to go into the woods!Sounds very much like the beginning of a horror movie indeed.....Here are my more interestinhg snaps while not falling off the hills! Some hills were pretty steep with broken branches in the path! (yikes)..
This was one of the more striking trees that anchors itself to a huge rock.

Here is a creepy claw from the hill:P
Then there was a face up that cliff...
And the snake that turned into stone..OoOo
And then there was the walking trees~
But then I visited the mossy kingdom, they fasinate me!
Through the calming steam~
Trees and more trees
The little trip took an hour anbd the sun was only nearly down, phew no accidents! yay!


Apologies for not posting any craft yet! Working on it! But I hope you enjoy pretty pictures too!

Light paintings by Janne Parviainen from Finland

I am going to be away this weekend so don't have anything that interesting to post yet, been sketching a lot but will post some if I feel they are any good!

However I been slowly catching up with my national geographic and came across Janne Parviainen's work where she uses long exposure on the camera and LED lights to create her lighting paintings. So much fun! All the preparations and anticipating the final results must have been very satisfying! Look forward to try making some myself~

So here is the one image I found in my April issue~ so cool..


I went on to google and found some more really crazy ones...not sure if some are suitable for my blog's theme but they are so beautiful I can't stop looking at them. I know skeletons are deemed as scary, creepy and dark but we all have a one! I like how she uses this type of 'shadow' of a light to portray spirits and ghosts. Maybe not everyone believes in spirits and ghosts but I see it as our cloud of energy, like an aura? Very beautiful!

Drawing Classes

Got a quick deal on living Social for some drawing classes. Not sure if I enjoy it very much yet but it's always good to do some observational drawings right? Why do I always skew my drawings as well? Also I am in need of heavy weight paper!!!
