Lost and found

Dear friend,
The funny thing about doing this artwork was that I found a pen i had lost for months and I found a cross that had been lost as well. Quite strange. Mostly I want to find wellness.

Hands

Dear friend,
This is a response to a drawing class I am doing online. it was to draw and collage hands. I did a photocopy of hands and surrounded it with sketches of my hand. You can't see the sketches. Sorry I am not good at reproducing my artwork. I will get better. Looking forward to my homework for this week.

Doiley

Dear friend,
I made this doiley during a 30 day creativity challenge on line. I hadn't done crochet in years. It was great to do and to remember how to do it. Crochet fine cotton has a lovely rhythm to it. I am doing another one.

This was part of a challenge to write everything that is going on in your head. Try it sometime. There are often so many ideas going on.

Opposites

We had to do a photo of opposites for a challenge and I did these 2 photos. I am reminded of my rapid cycling mood disorder where i go from zippy and active to being quiet and still. Such opposites for me

Moon celebrations

Shared how I celebrate the moon each day with people on the CCS site. They were also interested in the totem post I am making. It is lovely to have the support of other people interested in my work.
I will never forget sharing with my friend my travel journal and getting her wonderful feedback.
Do you celebrate the moons phases? Do you share your artwork with other people?

Over the moon

I got the inspiration to start doing my creativity blog again. I'm not doing drawing so much which was what this blog was for when I belonged to Everyday matters. I have been doing lots of collaging and knitting and doing artists journals and beading, etc. I'd love to share it here and keep a record of it.
Todays picture is a paper doll I made as a response to an online art journaling task.
