my cheapo xmas

in an attempt to give my child a 'main' present but also not really spend money on it, I've been renivating this bmx I got free from becycle. it's bird themed because he's into birds, not to make it look dumb. I am hoping I can pass it off as something awesome not just something old and rusty which is why I've tried to mask all the shit parts with coloured enamel

 crossbar bag with housemartin pattern

 crossbar pad with swallow pattern
 seat with eagle pattern
I also made him this after he'd told me of a dress design he had where it'd be a multicoloured dress with a cute volcano with a face on it and volcano buttons for the straps of the dress. not sure where that came from but he will like this, honest.
I made a small amount of these-oil paintings on vintage dominos. there are totally not even enough for all my mates so if you get one, feel awesome

sketching - the game

me and my son qeren play this game that he calls 'sketching'. basically I write something and he has to draw it and vice versa. sometimes we play variations like drawing a sound and you have to draw what made it or draw something and write what sound it makes. I'm not doing this because it's some modern, hippy parenting technique to make your child appear creative, I do it because it's funny, which after all, is the most important thing in life and so help me god, the one value I will pass on to my offspring. here's some of our 'sketches' ENJOY
