Being a Londoner I'm really excited about the Olympics being hosted in this wonderful city of mine.<br />Here's the well known Olympic symbol sleepingcities style...</div>sleepingcitieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01885080115138204716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891267511539910192.post-67569994001480853052012-06-06T14:10:00.001-07:002012-06-06T14:11:38.255-07:00It's been a while...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Couldn't believe it's been sooo long since I last posted. For that I
apologise. What have I been doing with my time? A few little projects
have been undertaken. One being my stain glass window. Sleepingcities
style of course...</div>

This drawing on walls is a whole new ball game.<br />
It's been lots of fun so far, a few challenges<br />
and aching bones (having to draw whilst lying on the floor is real tricky).<br />
I'm still undecided what to do the the upper section, so I'm leaving it for now.<br />
Maybe I'll add some words?<br />
In the meantime I still have all the detail and the brilliant orange to add...<br />

<br />I've been very neglectful of late.
<br />Little did I realise how my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/sleepingcities/126884429230">Daily Doodle </a>would take over my drawing life.
<br />I guess with putting the word 'Daily' in the title I should have known.
<br />
<br />
<br />It also occured to me that not everyone wants to use Facebook.
<br />So for you, I thought I'd share some of my Doodles.
