Well the two Little Bo Peep illustrations are finally done!
YAYS!!!
The video, however, is still in the works - I have to make an intro and I keep putting it off. It is not that I am camera shy…its just that I can’t seem to get the right lighting! Ugh. It is the perfectionist in me that keeps me from choosing the intro clip - lol I think I have recorded like 50 different takes…I am just going to have to bite the bullet and choose one. No more procrastinating!
That being said, I hope to have it up in the next week
Little Bo Peep Prints will be up for sale this upcoming week too. They will be sold as a set, however I will list them separately as well (the sheep one is cute just on its own too I think).
I am still debating whether or not to sell the originals….It is hard to part with my artwork - that is why digital media is so much easier for me
As you can see, the scanned in paintings are alot brighter than the photo I took holding them. I think I will play around with the colours in photoshop to maybe get them more like the originals.
In other news, I have joined Suzi Blu’s Mixed Media site, and am going to sign up for her online class!! I am super excited!! Come sign up with me and support a wonderful artist HERE
Oh! and I got my haircut - as you can see in the picture. It is a subtle asymmetrical cut and I LOVE it! However, it is alot higher maintenance than I expected - I definitely have to blow dry it and put product in it…and I have to get a flat iron lol….been holding off getting one of those things for years now, but the time has come to buy one
Anywho, hope ya’ll are well and I will try to update here more often than once a month lol
Due to my constant trolling of other people’s blogs, I have discovered a fabulous woman on youtube named Suzi Blu
I happened upon a link to her on one of my favourite blogs, Michelle my belle.
Suzi is an artist who is studying to become an art therapist - and I think that she will be excellent as that too!! She is soooo inspiring and positive - her videos are addictive, to say the least!! I can stop watching them!! she has inspired me go out and get a Moleskine journal, which has now become my first Art Journal YAYS!! I have had many sketch books in the past, but this one is different - it is my little sanctuary where I can create anything. I also really love watching the videos of her paint and create her works of art - its sooooooo cool! I hope to one day be as brave as her, to be able to go out of my comfort zone and try different mediums together. I guess thats where the Art Journal comes into play - a place to explore art.
So, I am encouraging everyone to make an art journal!!
My husband David is going to make one, and I am trying to convince my mom to start one too
So far I have written my name on the front page, but it’s a start!!
Other than constantly looking at her videos, I have been super busy!! My secret project is almost done (shhhhhhh) and I have another big project due at the end of the week!! Yays for lots of work!!!
Sadly, the last week and a half has been an art-write-off - we had friends come down to visit and then a medical emergency last week! So yah….it has been fun and stressful.
BUT! This is a short work week for my hubby, so it will be nice to have him around while I work Woot!! The doggies will have another person to whine at hehe
I am off to relax for a bit!
Don’t forget to check out more Suzi Blu Videos!! She really is amazing
And I have a link to her Blog on the side!!
