Lately I have been somewhat absent on my own blog. I know. My thoughts are elsewhere and in all honesty, I don't often feel like updating, am wondering about the why especially. I know most people who read (or used to read) this blog would come here for the art shared or to find inspiration. I seriously have got no idea how many people still come back. Anyway..
For those loyal lovely readers (as well as myself!) I thought we could get together for a cup of tea and I could show you some of my inspiration points around the spot where I live. Good?
First off a very (VERY) blurry picture of my stash of journals and no, they are not all full. I have started a couple and some more and don't seem to 'finish' any at all. Who knows, maybe one day?
I love creating little spots around which have the tendency to uplift, make me think, or make me giggle, whenever I glance that way. I am so not into organized religion at all, although the existence of organized religion has always fascinated me. However, this lovely collection of tiny psalm books is here to stay because of the memories they carry.
I've got this 'thing' when I have clay in my hands (which is not often) my hands want to mold a face. Crazy face. Weird face. I'd love to play with clay more often and have always (as long as I can remember) wanted to do a pottery course. With a wheel and all. On my to-do list.
A small collections of the little crystals around...
Another one of my happy spots around the house. Piles of books from the library I am reading (or flipping through) at the moment include these: 1000 new eco designs and where to find them and the power of your other hand. Both great books for inspiration and to try something new, like drawing and/or writing with your other hand to get in contact with another part of your creative self.
That's my project for the collaboration I am in with Seth and Steph. Or at least a small part of it, I can't show you all because something exciting might be happening with it in the near future. Working on the second round now and loving it. :)
These last two pictures are bits of paintings I have been working on for a while now. I find it quite a challenge to keep going, because there are distractions all around and with little kids time is sparse. I do appreciate the time I get and try and utilize all of it. Sometimes.. ;)
That was it. Maybe more another day. I also updated my etsy shop with lots of thick felt and silk yarn and ribbon. Last time they all went pretty quick, however this time there is more to choose from!
Have you finished your cuppa?
