30 minutes creativity per day… Day 66 & 67! Minutia
Today, and yesterday, I have been adding to the finer details on my little wren. You may wonder why? Well, the original file is actually 13500px square – so there’s a lot of detail in there ☺ However, on the scale of placing it up on a computer (or other platform) screen, it’s … Continue reading
30 minutes creativity per day… Day 55! Black and white is black and white ☺
In some ways I can’t believe that I have managed to make it to day 55 of making sure I set aside at least 30 minutes “me” time to do something creative! Quite proud of myself. Nice to put “me” first ☺ (those who know me well, will know that this is not what … Continue reading
30 minutes creativity per day… Day 54! Turning black and white – with a touch of red.
Today I didn’t feel like stitching. Instead, I had a look back through some files on my computer for inspiration and came across this piece I had drawn up some years ago: At the time, I had (not particularly successfully when I look back at it) used the computer to add colour (not shown … Continue reading
30 minutes creativity per day… Day 51! Winging on my way ☺
You know, you can spend a lot of time on a small area within a drawing or painting and not have all that much to show for it… but if you had spent less time on it, it would be obvious that you hadn’t done as much… Well, that’s today! I’ve spent quite … Continue reading
30 minutes creativity per day… Day 36! Photoshop additions to pencil sketching.
I dabble a little with Photoshop, but don’t pretend to know how to use it very well…so I’ve decided to have a play (or at least start to) with adding colour to my Fairy Wren drawing using Photoshop and layers. To do this, I have taken the white background away, and made everything that … Continue reading
30 minutes creativity per day… Day 33! Frog + colour + water
I suppose it’s not really abstract in the purest of terms, but compared with what I normally create, it is. Normally I am rather realistic in my drawings, and so much more detailed. So, I have taken my little frog and added touches of colour with Inktense pencils. I chose to use them … Continue reading
30 minutes creativity per day… Day 32! Frog in abstract.
Taking a break from the kangaroo…. This year at The Embroiderers Guild, VIC in the Machine Embroidery Guidance Group we are finding inspiration each month in a different artist, to create an A5 size piece of textile art. January’s artist is Australian artist, John Olsen. I thought I should make a start, as … Continue reading
30 minutes creativity per day… Day 22! He’s finished!
“Ta-dah!” It’s a great feeling finishing off this drawing and seeing the little wren come to life. Coming back to finish him today was like visiting a close friend ☺ Today I touched up some feathers, finished the leg and feet, and gave him something to stand on. All was done using an HB pencil. … Continue reading
30 minutes creativity per day…
Oh my goodness! Where did the year go? Last year (2016) was a very full year, personally and work-related – some good, some bad. Then, I noticed I really haven’t been giving myself the “me” time I should have been. So, look out 2017 – I’m intending to slot in at least 30 minutes creativity … Continue reading
Magpie sketch – I’ve managed to get to some sketching!
Don’t you hate it when life gets in the way of things? Highly frustrating, when I’d rather be creating! However, I have managed to sit and do some sketching – I take the time to do some when my son is having a yoga session. During the lesson I sit at a table outside the … Continue reading
