New Blog, New Name, New Art

Howdy.  Just so you know, I've got a new blog The Artling and it's really coming along nicely.  Just so as you get an idea of what you might see over at The Artling, here is one of my little ink drawings based on emotions. 

 

And in case you need even more motivation to check it out - there is a free ebook on sketching available there too.  Look forward to catching up with you! xx

Exciting News Soon!

My dear readers, I've been gone from this blog, and from you, for much longer than I expected! Lot's has happened but I won't go into a narrative of everything over the last year plus! I just wanted to let you know I'm fantastic and creating up a storm! In fact, I will be announcing something very new and very exciting in the next little while. Be ready!

Blogging hiatus.

I've been blogging for over 4 years now and loved every minute of it. Suddenly, however, I don't love it. This is a feeling I could never have imagined but, here it is. So I'm taking a break. At this point I plan to be back at some stage later this year either here or over at my new blog I've been working on (it was going to be a surprise!) I don't want you to think it was you that made me feel like this. I have truly loved and felt humbly privileged to have your company here. It is you I will miss! I just don't want to be a blogger right now. So,

cheers!

I'm waiting for something

I'm not sure what.


But while I'm waiting I'm having a lovely time with the daily 'thank you' posts on THXTHXTHX. Like todays...

and yesterdays...

I think you get my drift now...

"Leah Dieterich's mother always told her to write thank you notes. So she does. To everything. thxthxthx is her daily exercise in gratitude."

My Creative Space

I'm joining Kirsty in showing my creative space again this week. While I haven't been posting much lately a lot has been going on albeit mainly in my brain. However, today I am experimenting with what I think might become my new favourite thing - Ampersand Gessobords.
These carefully constructed PH neutral boards are perfectly coated with a special gesso finish that is specifically for acrylic or oil paints. They are light and phenomenally sturdy. I'm thinking they will easy for posting and shipping. I'm also doing further experiments with oil paints and coloured grounds.

My Creative Space

I love looking at everyone's creative spaces each Wednesday and I've been meaning to join in for ages. This is my first go. I've got lots of reading to do today - some research and some for my Indie Biz course, and lots of brainstorming and ideas to come up with so this is where I'll be most of the morning!

Thanks to ninianlif for the free photoshop overlay I used in playing with the photo.
