Creative Wall

Today, whilst out shopping, I came across this:

Wow!

It was amongst all this:

(All pictures taken by me, compiled using Picnik)

It is actually an old pub garden that is now a car park.

This is the car park wall:

..With this floor:

..and it used to have lots of sunloungers and brightly coloured plastic tables and chairs on it.  I think the realities of the British weather put a stop to this unconventional idea, and this is probably why it is now just a car park.  The pub owners haven't sprayed it conventional colours yet, maybe they are letting it go naturally.  I personally love all that decaying colour!

One last thing...

I did a bit of my own grafitti  - but only by using a Picnik doodle brush of a man's face on top one of the photos:

and apologies for the bad hair! lol.

Thanks for looking and for any comments,

See you tomorrow,

I've decided to add today's crafty activity on the tail end of this post because that means it goes here on the right day! lol.

Although today wasn't a proper craft (again, sorry!) what I've done today is set up a flickr account where I'm going to put all my 'artistic' photos.  A lot of these are of textures and my favourite subject, decay.  I decided they would be better off on there rather than here because this is more for my general crafting.  I will still mention on here ocassionally that I have put things on there and give you the link in case anyone from here fancies a look. 

I haven't put many on yet (these were scanned in from old 35mm pics) but here are a couple of examples of the kind of thing that I've put on there.

You can see why I like the distressed look in my artwork....

See you tomorrow,
