I’m quite overdue a post, but I’ve been busy, busy, busy…

Yesterday I had my left eye lasered – a laser capsulotomy because the capsule behind the artificial lens was getting cloudy. I’d been warned this might happen, though I’d been under the impression it was because of the steroid drops, and that it was a kind of clean up thing. In fact it’s something that commonly happens with cataract ops, and it sounds like it should be a one off as it actually makes a hole in the capsule.

It really wasn’t a pleasant thing, even though numbing drops meant I couldn’t really feel much. She put a large contact lens over the eye and then held onto that to keep the eyeball still while she zapped with the laser. It took a while longer than I’d been told, presumably because my capsule was ‘a bit thick’ and I wasn’t enjoying it one bit.

Anyway , it’s done now, and I think it has helped, I’m pretty sure my vision in that eye is sharper now, so the clouding must have been more bothersome than I’d thought.

In happier news, I’ve finished my Bayduck Tapestry giant duck, and she’s gone to Hastings for the trail starting in June. Now I’m working on two giraffes for Edinburgh’s trail. One’s finished and varnished, the other is getting there.

Yes, they are tall! 2.5m, to be exact.

Drawesome

This month's [community profile] drawesome challenge is creating art without intent. You're meant to stop thinking and see what happens - which is both hard and easy!

I've got two offerings, though the second did have a purpose so is kind of a cheat.

I did this one first, starting it with a Ohuhu alcohol marker but switching to fountain pen after a few minutes because the way the marker ink was spreading out from the lines was annoying me and defeating the whole not thinking thing.


2022 Jan automatic drawing

Then a few days later I was trying to get some sculpture trail designs done, and had an idea about doing a doodle design. So I picked up a Pentel brush pen and doodled this one.
I think I can count it towards this challenge because though the end result has a purpose, the process of just putting brush to paper and seeing what happened was the same.

I think the original automatic drawing idea isn't supposed to end up with anything recognisable but my hand to brain to hand is programmed to make shapes into things so...shrugs.
