Cry havoc and unleash the Ferrets of War!

I so blame the Boy for that one...

So we put the ferrets in one cage this weekend and ignored them while they argued it out. Basically boiled down to Midori taking over the hammock and Tira claiming one of the blankets...then Midori chasing Tira out of the blankets and Tira going to the hammock, only to be chased out again. Eventually they seemed to settle down and sleep, though. They woke us up twice the first night with the screaming and once last night. When I went out to check on them this morning (about 30 minutes since the last screaming fit), they were both in the hammock with a blanket separating them, resolutely ignoring one another. Yay, progress. Now to just re-litter train Midori.

Warning - all of these are long.

Okay, more than enough rambling. Time to go to work.

watery art

Boy and I had stopped by charretts on the way to the movie theatre yesterday and I picked up a set of Koi water colors. Normally I don't like watercolors but for some reason I've felt like playing with them. I had wanted a set of the dried squares but the only ones they had were a brand that I don't like. Oh well, tubes it is. I guess I can always put them in my airbrush and then they won't dry up before I use them all.

So last night I spent about 3 hours masking off a sketch I did a few weeks back and painting it in. I got all of the interior done and part of the outside. I just need to find an image of a terrified rabbit to finish it.

Of course, I had originally planned to color this sketch in with pastels, so I didn't do it on watercolor paper...*sigh* Smooth vellum doesn't handle being soaked down all that well.
