☆ Mystical Magical Makings - Unicorns and Faeries

Tweet

It's a sad week this week... it's the last week of the fabulous Mystical, Magical Makings course run by Tam. Well actually the last week was two weeks ago and I have been procrastinating slightly.. ok a lot and have only just finished my painting. However I am not sure I am finished with the painting. I think I am just resting it.

It was such a difficult piece to start. Not because I was stuck on a composition - I had finished the sketch earlier, but whether it was because it was the last week and I wanted to keep the magic alive (so to speak), or because I had finished a large piece of work just the week before and was a bit lost, or because I have a really bad habit of not finishing things, I struggled.

So determined, and a new week with a positive start (see here) I made it into my studio and started. And once I started it just flowed.

The other artists in the group have been so supportive and so inspiring, and Tam is a fantastic instructor/ teacher. I will be signing up for another course in the future!

☆ Illustration Friday

It has been a crazy week so far. and it doesn't seem like it will get any saner over the rest of it!

I have been working on my Art, Heart and Healing week 2 projects, trying to finish them before we go away for a long week end in Sydney, I finished my Illustration Friday prompt, had a Bug whose teeth are all seeming to come through at once, a Bean who has a persistent cough and clingy for mama, a husband who ended up in the emergency department for stitches (only 3 and not a bad cut!) and a slice to be made for playgroup (what am I mad - why haven't I bought one??)

So I can only hope that our weekend away will be a calmer and less hurried time, but I know with parties, BBQ's and family catch ups planned (as well as some well deserved retail therapy!) it will be just as manic - but heaps of fun!!

Thanks everyone for the lovely and supportive comments - I will reply...soonish?

So anyway Illustration Friday..

I was inspired this week by a quote about fairies by J.M. Barrie:

"Every time a child says I don't believe in fairies, there is a fairy somewhere that falls..."

She spent to long time not believing in fairies..

Hope you've had a great week so far and happy hump day!
