Sometimes inspiration is a weird thing...My mind is wandering , here comes a rabbit, here comes an other, and then ants dancing, and another bunny traveling with a star, and this one looks not really happy, why?  And the ants keep on dancing, it must be fun to dance on six feet!

One day after another, slow summer.

Do you work?
Not exactly...

On the left :
No news from miss Fraise (Strawberry)

On the right:
Miss Paquerette (Daisy) is worried :"we were supposed to go shopping together"

What about a ten years old picture? I can't believe I made this exactly ten years ago!
Drawing in cafes was always one of my favourite way to begin a calm week-end.
How Parisian of me!

Dix ans presque exactement!  Malheureusement lors de mon dernier demenagement en France, 7 ans de carnets ont disparus dans les cartons, envoles...C'est une des raisons de ce carnet virtuel, comme ca quoiqu'il arrive il restera des archives numeriques :)

Ca existe toujours le Cannibale a Paris?

First thing to do today should be to click on the "update" button of your browser:
ah! It's better like that. Welcome in My new home!

A new design for 2 years of Non Dairy Diary! Yey, more to come!

......................................................................................................

Deux ans de Non dairy Diary, il fallait le feter, j'ai refait la deco :)
Si c'est crapouillou, n'oubliez pas de cliquer sur "reactualiser" yes, ca va mieux !
Bienvenue dans le nouveau chez moi!

Au depart je voulais faire un truc genre hyper clean design en trois couleurs la classe, et puis bon heu voila. Huhu.

And now for something completely different: the radish backgrounds!
I made 2 of these, enjoy!

Please no reproduction, or commercial use, for my icons&backgrounds,thanks.

The paper craft part is to put your icons neatly organized. You can use my icons for more fun:

Voici les fonds d'ecran promis, ouf, typepad est enfin repare!
Je vais continuer sur un rythme plus lent ces jours ci, apres-tout c'est l'ete :)

Tous droits de repoductions reserves, et surtout pas d'usage commercial, merci.

Full size this time. I will continue updating fotologue for fun , though.
The second part of the drawing says : "I don't think a boy Leek would be a great success, unfortunately".
I fell in love with miss Radish, I guess I will work on a wallpaper for myself, do you want it too?

-----------------------------------------

Connaissez vous Edward Gorey?  Certaines personnes sont completement impermeables a son humour, malheureusement.

La partie gauche du carnet est consacree a la triste histoire de Miss radish, qui en a marre que tout le monde dise a Mlle Strawberry combien elle est mignonne, alors que c'est juste parceque c'est une fraise et c'est profondement injuste, vraiment.
Les radis ont des sentiments eux aussi. Et l'etiquette adroite dis "mangez vos legunes!"

J'aime beaucoup  Miss Radish, je crois que je vais lui consacrer mon fond d'ecran, le voulez-vous?

(traduction dans la suite)

If you want to see a version large enough to appreciate the details, you will have to go to
my fotologue gallery.

I know, you were able before to enjoy my illustrations full size here. I had to re-write the html code each time, download my pictures twice, etc, to be hable to show my pictures full size. I calculated  I spent at most 537x15mn= 134 hours and 25 minutes (5 days, more or less) doing this since I opened my blog. During that time I could have painted 20 to 30  illustrations!

Typepad doesn't allow me to show images bigger than 640 pixel, it's a ridiculous small size for illustration. I asked them to change that, but they answered they don't care at all, for it's not in the list of the most wanted things on their open tickets. 

So I'm a bit fed up and I don't know what to do. Any Idea?

Yey! Here is the "what can you see at the end of your street album", Click on the picture to travel with us.
Thanks to the people who participated, 23 pictures, I can't believe it guys you rock!

All copyrights are reserved to the authors of the pictures except picture one and two, Ⓒdel4yo 2006.

Youpi donc, voici l'album "Que voit-on au bout de votre rue?" cliquer sur l'image pour admirer la vue, bon voyage!

Les doits d'auteurs sont ceux des auteurs des images, tous droits reserves bien entendu.

The Non Dairy  Diary will take a slow path the upcoming week:
I have to finish some albums, work on my links ( looks like most of them are broken)
And take some rest, too!

Le Non Dairy va souffler un peu...le temps de finir les albums, reecrire mes liens ( c'est casse de partout, merci Typepad) ...Et me reposer aussi , tiens!

En attendant je vous presente miss Radish ,et elle n'est pas de bonne humeur...A suivre!

Today in French only, sorry.

Je recois de temps en temps (bon ok, souvent) des questions de ce genre

je cite:
"je voudrais savoir comment vous faites dans vos images sur votre site pour créer un genre de livre en arrière plan ?"
ou
"Pourquoi est-ce que vos brosses Photoshop ne marchent pas sous Word?"

Tres franchement, et sans aucune ironie de ma part, je ne sais que repondre . A part : "en fait je mets un genre de livre en arriere plan" ou "les brosses Photoshop ne marchent pas sous word".
Ce qui ne fait pas avancer le smilblick, reconnaissons le. Aussi pour votre plus grand plaisir et ma propre edification, je suggere que vous utilisiez la section commentaire de ce post:

1. Pour m'aider a repondre parceque que je seche un peu la.

2. Pour poser maintenant les questions qui vous brulent les levres, qu'on y reponde hein.

Vous pouvez vous lacher, allez, hop!

Totalement metaphorique, n'est-ce pas? 
"quand les poules auront des dents" se dit en Anglais "quand les cochons voleront"
et voila:

I'm learning English, and found out that I should put phrases and expressions in a safe place to be sure to remember them when needed. I began by this one :"when pigs will fly" because it's so cute . In French you would say "when hens have teeth" wich is not as much fun.

Many thanks to Sam for helping me on the spelling and inspiration ( and for being so patient with us French people and our bad, bad, very bad English).

There is also a phrase in French that says "like giving jam to pigs", but the way we say it can be also translated by "pigs jam". Et voila!
