Can you believe this is the last day of November? I again, it was done before I realised it. As is AEDM for another year. And although Leah from creative everyday has monthly prompts, I rarely remember to join in, which is a shame because there are so many creative members who join her on her monthly journeys.
But this year it was so much easier to participate, and I think this was due to several things.
1. I gave myself permission not to create if I didn't want to - which meant it wasn't a chore, and I wanted to, needed to do something daily.
2. My brothers wedding wasn't smack bang at the start of the month, derailing me from the word go. (although that was a party I wouldn't have missed for anything!!)
+ 3. I didn't feel the need to finish everything daily. I allowed myself to breathe + live with the painting rather than just churn it out. Which means I didn't feel like I had cheated myself + just painted by route, I actually let myself enjoy each painting.
So tomorrow I will post my final weekly round up for AEDM, + I thought I would try + put together a collage of all my finished pieces, so you can see them all together.
Did you participate in AEDM this year? How did you go? I would love to know you feelings now that the month is over...
On to another subject, and my Christmas Tag Swap sign up was due to close tomorrow, but I decided to give you the weekend to finish, weighing up the pros + cons. So Monday morning (Australian EST) the very first Listen to the Squeak Christmas Tag swap, will be closing to participants.
Thank you to every one who has signed up so far, I am very excited + have almost finished my tag off.

Have a great weekend.

DeleteI just love your work - She's gorgeous and even though it is normally the eyes that totally captivate me, she looks stunning with hers closed!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do the tag swap but I've packed up most of my art supplies for our big move so am going to have to pass until we get settled in the New Year.
Thanks Nic - It's a shame you are unable to join us - I think it will be heaps of fun, but I am definitely thinking this could be a yearly swap, so there is always next year! Hope the move goes well x
DeleteLovely angel!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite color palettes...the triad of secondary colors.
Your gold, green and violets complement each other wonderfully!
