Day one of advent. My birthday is on the 30th of November and the last two years my mum has made me an advent calendar as my gift. I love it so much. A little treat every day. Best mym ever.
A foot wearing a sock. The sock is pale blue at the top. Mid way down the sock there is a cat face and the rest of the sock is cream to be the body of the cat. The cat has bright pink flowers on its head.

I made a very stupid thing that no one i know gets. So I thought I would post it to the void and see if anyone sees it and understands.

I did some arts and farts. I wanted a painting for a spot on my wall and thought it would be fun to "re-create" Expectations with random junk I already own. It was indeed super fun.
A collage of a figure of a lady inspired by the painting by Klimt. The lady is wearing a long yellow dress with different colored triangles on it. It looks Egyptian inspired . The face is a photocopy of the original painting. The background is black with curly gold branches. The whole picture is a bit blurry because I am bad at taking photos. A painting of a lady by Gustav Klimt called Expectations. She is wearing a long dress with triangles on it. The background is yellow with brown branches across it. It has an Egyptian feeling. The painting style is art nouveau.
