Hello everyone!
When it's crunch time before a show, everything gets put aside until after the show. And when I say "everything" I really mean everything. Dishes pile up in the sink and unnecessary doctor appointments get rescheduled. Sometimes, that's just what it takes to get everything finished.
So, I noticed how much I missed painting and journaling during this last crunch time before my show. And I am happy to report that I am back into the journal and doing some fun sketching, just for me. And you know what? It feels great! This is one page that I just played with, and had fun with beeswax. I don't always use beeswax, but it was so fun, I may have to start doing it more. When the wax was cooling, I carved some smaller flowers into the wax, and then added color to it with an oilstick. Fun!
And then last night, I did some sketching, and it was just for me. I currently don't have any plans for this one, but after I finish it, I may copy it onto some vellum and glue it onto the above background, I just started playing with. So nothing is complete - just having fun and playing. Good for the soul, ya know?
Another fun thing is that I signed up for
Alisa Burke's Sketchbook Delight e-course, and I'm so stoked! I wanted to take it with the rest of the class when it was offered in Feb/March, but there was no way I could do that e-course and get ready for my show. So I had to wait until now when I had a little more time.
Hope all of you are doing well! Spring is here and I am always so thankful for the warmer weather~
Kelly
