Inaugural Post & the "Year of Consistency"

Well, this is the inaugural post of my blog - yay! One of my 20 or so new years' resolutions done, and I must say that it feels rather nice to have knocked 1 (and only 1) off. So, the idea here is that this will encourage the bigger 2 of the resolutions to be achieved.

Putting a twist on a quote from that very average film Field of Dreams:
If you build it they will come~ and the things you want will come to you.

The first is that I will lose 19kg. On this blog I will name and shame myself into losing weight. Posting my loss (or not) every week I am hoping will spur me on to sticking with my Jenny Craig weightloss program. so to kick things off, this week is my current (lets's call it starting) weight for the purposes of this exercise:

NAME AND SHAME: 94KG
(gulp it looks really big when I type it - and is foul for someone who is a mere 164cm)

The second resolution of import is that I will commit to art output this year, and not let work get in the way all the time. I found last year that the time I was committing to my art was so patchy that I was constantly restarting projects, and was completely ineffective. So 2008 marks the year of consistency for Liz.

To this end I have been quite prolific so far in 2008. I have committed to quite a lot of art projects and swaps, and have at the time of writing, completed everything due for March bar 1 (lonely single) ATC (Artist Trading Card).

This is a tryptich I finished off yesterday that I was rather pleased with. The theme is architecture. This is the tryptich closed. I LUURVE using rust paint, it is an absolute fave of mine:


And this is it open:


The arches from left to right say "plans", "window" and "balcony".

Thanks for taking the time!
