It has been a while…

yes yes, it has been quite a while since my last post!
eek!

this past month has been oddly busy, but not at the same time…been wasting lots of time playing games and fiddling about with other projects. Sadly, not much has been accomplished lol

I do have some pics of a work in progress, as well as two finished illustrations! yays!!

First, here is a photo of my second Musical Illustration, completed

and up-close you can see my needlework :)

photos are not awesome, but until i get them scanned, this will have to do.

Second, I finally finished my Rapunzel Illustration!! woot! I really like this one - it was lot of fun

i used watered down acrylics, and shaded with pencil crayon.
This is definitely my new favourite way of colouring!!

And last I have a shot of my new mixed media illustration - another Musical girl, this time with a lollipop hehe

I really like working with calligraphy ink and pens for outlining now - works really well, and no smudging!!

I have been posting little tidbits up on my Utterz page, as well as Twittering a bunch, and I have been thinking of starting up a video page! I really like Viddler, but Youtube seems to still has the most users/exposure…so I have not decided yet. The videos would be art ones, probably of me making my wee mixed media pieces. hehe very exciting.

David and I are still doing the kettlebells, and we feel super duper! Once again, I really recommend EVERYONE try it (lol I sound like an informercial, I know :P). My mom bought one and I am sending her the DVD we use - I am very excited for her! yays Mom!!

Alrighty, so I am going to make some more tea, continue painting until David comes home, and then it is time for our kettlebell workout!!

Hope ya’ll have a super awesome Monday!!

They were sleeping on our bed hehe - actually Marzi is on David’s pillow lol

Ginger was guarding her Kong, which still had half a cookie in it lol. Marzipan gets those treats out of her Kong in all of like 3 mins….Ginger, on the other hand, finds it impossible to get the cookie out. She holds on to it as long as she can, but in the end Marzi usually finishes it off :P

Not much to talk about today. David and I are still in full throttle with the Kettlebells and have been doing Bob Greene’s Better Life Diet - we really like it! I am learning how to cook meals! I know, so totally shocking hehe
I baked banana muffins today too, so the house smells very yummy indeed.

I have added a few new art links on the side
–> Stefan G. Bucher does daily illustrations of monsters (verrrry cool)
–> Jelene is a wonderful pop artist, and she has some speed painting videos up on youtube! I love watching other artists create their work!
–> Michael Shapcott does speed painting videos on youtube as well - amazing pencil drawings!

I also added an icon link to my Stylehive page - I was totally obsessed with that site last year, and have recently started playing with it again. There are so many amazing things that people find and link there. I someday would like a home with many of the items I have favourited there hehe

Alrighty, so that’s about it for today!
Have a super duper Wednesday tout le monde!
