This is the dragonfly I used for the layout below. It's a simple vector of a dragonfly, with a purple texture. The texture comes from a photograph of a pansy from last summer. By the time I got to it with my camera it was very ragged around the edges but the colours it had were excellent so I photographed it anyway.

Finally, I've gotten into the elusive qbee. The first time I tried to enter was several years ago now, but I was unsuccessful, despite spending hours and hours painstakingly making not very good pixel art. Ah well, I've finally cracked it, hurrah!

I've decided to change hosts...I've never done this with a proper domain before, so I have no idea if there will be any down time. I hope there won't be too much interuption.

This is pretty much a three column layout. I was going to maybe use it for a diary or blog, but I'm happy with the layout I already have in place here, so I'll have to find some other use for it. The menu areas expand downwards, as content is put into them. At first I thought this was very classy, but then I realised...it's kind of like the effect of someone unraveling a toilet roll. Oh well.
It's all coded and everything. I probably should have put some text it, oh well.

My granny celebrated her birthday about a week ago, and I made this card for her, out of this camellia print. I took two prints, cut out one of them, and curled the edges of the petals and things to give it a three dimensional effect. I might do some daffodil ones for easter.
Charming flower prints, only one dollar each, wink wink, nudge nudge!

Go on go on go on go on. You will you will you will you will.
Ah, Craggy Island, where tea cures all ills.

A logo I made a little while ago for a friend of mine who runs a Swedish website about the nutritional values of food, at Minmat.net.
