Day eight

Merci Beaucoup - thank you very much

Last night, in my french class, I made the faux pas of pronouncing “beaucoup” as “beau cul”. This is rather easily done as both the p and the l are silent. Unfortunately though, instead of saying “thank you very much”, I said “thank you, pretty ass”. I must work on that :P

Day One

I have signed up to take part in the 100 days project this year! (Crazy I know) so for the next hundred days please bear with me while i attempt to post up a french word/ phrase each day. Starting with the basics:

Bonjour, je m’appelle Briar

My friend meishagraham seems to be getting back into her tumblr recently. Yay! I actually just realised I don’t even know if I’ve ever reblogged any of her final project work which seems bizarre as her book was awesome!

Jobless Doodle Number 10
Now’s the time. I don’t really know how I come up with some of the things I’ve done for these daily doodles. Usually I just start sketching and then it just turns into a random word. I quite like that its an automatic process though, makes it rather relaxing.
P.S I am going away for the long week end so I may need to do a bulk upload when I get back if I don’t have access to internet. Happy Easter everyone!

Jobless Doodle Number 8
Hard. Another practise at vectoring up handdrawn type, which I still do find a bit “hard”. But practise makes perfecto!

Jobless Doodle Number 5
I’m gonna count this as todays doodle, had a go at vectoring up my Day 1 doodle.. as I’m trying to practise my pen tool lettering. I’m thinking I could make this into some little invitation cards to my stitch & bitch group :P

The Jobless Doodle Project
Been feeling like I am getting a bit lazy on the tumblr front recently, which is why I’ve decided to set myself a wee challenge. This will be hard as I never seem to stick to anything like this, however I’m hoping by blogging about it there will be more pressure to actually get my A into G. Ok, so challenge is to post up a daily doodle, every day until I find myself a fulltime job. Let the doodles begin!
