It's Saturday night...

... and I've staying in to do some screenprinting! I've taken my hand-drawn earphone design and created a Gocco screen, now handprinting the design onto grey, white and lime green cushions (whilst drinking rose wine!)

If you like, then I'm sure they'll soon be available on Folksy!

Unrequited Love

"A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain."

Yes, Mr. Abraham Cowley... t'is a bugger indeed!

My First Folksy Friday- Wishlist!

I now have 2 shops on the brilliant FOLKSY, one for my (first love) art www.folksy.com/shops/victoriamcdonaldart and the other to sell my miscellaneous creations www.folksy.com/shops/papermashyeti

Here on my first "Folksy Friday" I have compiled a wishlist of items that I covet and desire.



I love this nostalgic enducing photograph with romantic blurry edges. It evokes a simpler life full of childish joy :)

A fun collage print! The owl is just too cute.

My new favourite thing in the world since I saw it this morning. Currently working out how to buy it without my bank manager phoning me and telling me off (cos waiting for my overtime next month is just too far away!)

A gorgeous little birdie who will definately be brightening up my kitchen at some point in the near future :)

"A drunk mouth...

... speaks with a sober heart."

And I have consumed a bottle of Rose Cava tonight, so I'm zipping it shut and going to the land of nod!

Who Are You? (Who? Who? Who? Who?)

Oh flaming Nora. "Celebrity" *cough* Big Brother is back. The only good thing is that it's for the last time. I have not watched it, but read about it on BBC News... Man, I felt compelled to make a post about it. I wish to say a few words about the people appearing on it.

First up, Dane Bowers. He wasn't even the fit one in Another Level, back in the day- that was Bobak! Does he have a new record out? Last thing I heard about him was that he got stopped for drink driving. Class Act.

Alex Reid, Jordan's on/off boyfriend. Fair play to BB for pitching 2 of Jordan's ex boys against each other in same house- smart... or it could backfire and be uber boring. I wonder will Reid dress up as a woman to gain some attention after Jordan outted his private antics? I pity the fool. Watch for pics of Jordan and Peter appearing in a park with their kids in all the celeb mags.

Lady Sovereign and DJ Basshunter. WHO? I hate Sovereign rings.

Sisqo. Oh, last thing I heard he said he had the same skin condition that Michael Jackson had... will be interesting to see a picture in the papers- cos I refuse to tune in. BBC News reports that Sisqo performed a version of his biggest (only?) hit "The Thong Song" as he entered the house. They called it a "Big Brother First" cos nobody else has ever sung an already released or future track to gain publicity. By the by, I actually like "The Thong Song", reminds me of being on holiday and hearing it played. So, by that logic only, Sisqo FTW!

Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss. Bet producers are hoping that she'll name some of her famous clients, and then she won't. She's probably there on a recruitment drive.

Actor Stephen Baldwin. Cos better brother Alec is too busy making the excellent 30 Rock and having a movie out.

Glamour model Nicola T. Oh, bet she's blonde. And gets her tits out in the shower.

Ekaterina Ivanova. Qualifies as being a celebrity by shagging an ageing alcholic about 50 years older. The 18 month relationship doesn't work out, he slaps her in the street and she sells her story to The Sun (btw, I'm not making light of domestic violence- she's lucky she had the gumption & balls to up and away... just not everyone's so lucky... or gets paid for their story)

Footballer turned actor Vinnie Jones. There because Guy Ritchie has obviously stopped giving him parts.

Actress Stephanie Beacham. Cos when you play Ken Barlow's love interest in Corrie- who he didn't even leave Deirdre for! then it can't get much worse.

The tagline for the series is: Hell lies in others.

No it doesn't. It lies behind the TV screen.
