As I thought of writing this post I said to myself there must be another way to start it than saying I’ve been very busy. It doesn’t sound original or fun but it’s true! I’ve been very busy working on various projects, some of which I’m not yet allowed to share and a personal art project that still makes sense only in my head and will have to wait awhile until it reveals itself to the world.
However, I did manage to steal a little time to work on simple creative ideas. I’ve been doodling on glossy 200gms photo paper, using colorful, sparkly rollers and expressing my caffeine addiction love for coffee.
I got some cheap coffee mugs at a local store and I’d love to draw something on them as soon as I buy paint for ceramics. Now I’m just using them as props.
For some reason I can’t remember right now I thought it would be fun to make a watermelon necklace. I really love watermelons and pink/red/green color combo so why not? But, to be honest my every attempt to make jewelry only reaffirms my decision to stick to illustration because I kinda suck at crafting and lack patience to work on tiny details. I made this by cutting a round cork coaster in half, painting a watermelon on it, then making two tiny holes and putting soft wire through them. I’m using it a as decoration/some sort of mobile right now and will look for actual watermelon themed jewelry on etsy one day 
I had more fun painting bears on cork coasters than making a watermelon “necklace”:
As January is coming to an ending I’m still keeping my motto for 2012. in mind and keeping myself motivated , creative and , yes ,very busy. I can’t wait until I can share results of more exciting projects with you!
In love, one of the recent drawings.
Happy mushroom doodle still needs to be colored (probably in bubble gum pink and silver).
I like doodling buttons. And this particular “buttoned” sketchbook page was somewhat inspired by this old song playing in my head all day long:
A girl with long and strange looking hair. Looking at her reminds me I should get a haircut soon. My hair is getting long and messy and I’m starting to resemble a hippie (and not in a good way, hehe)
A critter standing on a big flower. He looks worried. I wonder what’s he thinking about. How to get of that flower, maybe?
Feeling happy. And Happiness is apparently bright pink.
Yesterday was a rainy day. But just like in the proverb, after the rain comes sun and today turned out to be the most beautiful, sunny, warm April day.
Or is it just a really big umbrella?
There can never be enough of tea cups especially the cute, colorful ones.
Yes, I do. Particularly green tea with jasmine and almond bits. Yum!
In a good way, I promise.
You are always on my mind because…
Yes, you are.
Just a reminder. I think everyone needs one, especially on Mondays.
