☆ Mermaid [a page from my sketchbook]

Tweet

Last week I shared with you a work in progress that I had started in my sketch book. A yellow- eyed mermaid.

(I seem to be fascinated by yellow eyes. They seem so piecing to me.)

Using acrylics, water colours, water soluble wax pastels, water colour crayons, ink + pencils, she is finally finished.

And it felt great to just let go, and to spend some time contemplating her and what I actually felt like using.  It feels good to let go and play - which is really the whole point of my sketchbook. 

I just forget that sometimes.

Have you played lately? Or have you, like me, been walking a set path + been caught up in your 'way' of doing things? I would love to hear your stories.

☆ Creative Project - completed!

Do you remember the owls I made for Bug's birthday? The ones that were supposed to be a mobile over her cot?

Well after weeks of thinks I must finish them off, pulling them out to work on, being distracted (Ok, procrastinating!) and Mr Mac putting them away only for me to forget about, I finally sat down, strung them, and hung them.

Bug is fascinated with them and Bean...

... well Bean, she wants her own - but mermaids of course!

Have you completed a long over due project lately? Did you have a huge sense of satisfaction (and a sigh of relief that it wasn't five years down the track?)

When my procrastinating tendencies kick in, I must remember to recapture this feeling, it might motivate me more!

Have a great weekend everyone
