A crazy busy week with another one to come! Are you going too crazy to be creative? Or are you creative in a different way? Shopping for the perfect gift is creative. Decorating your home for Christmas is creative. Juggling everything involves creativity. Or so I like to tell myself....but I do think it's true.
I did complete my pages for this week but it was a challenge. I had hoped to do more sketchbook pages and participate in some of the fun weekly challenges but time did not permit.
Monday: I have an extensive nutcracker collection (which I will post pictures of later this month as I have been loving the photos that some of you have been showing of your Xmas decorations). I tried drawing one for the first time...
Tuesday:
Wednesday: Another nutcracker done in oil pastels...
Thursday:
Friday: Trying to capture a beautiful sunset I saw over water... (Unfortunately my watercolour crayons look totally washed out.)
Saturday: I finally put my tree up. Lights only. (The blue are actually supposed to be white but white wouldn't show up.)
Sunday: My tree top angel.
I'm getting closer to having the house decorated (though boxes and mess still abound) and have finally even start shopping! I have such a love/hate relationship with this time of year. What about you? All organized and relaxed? Or like me? Hope you have a wonderful Christmas (if you celebrate it) and a Happy Holiday Season!!
Wow you have been busy this week!!! Lovely sketches!! Your nutcracker sketch is gorgeous I would love to see it in colour!
ReplyDeleteNormally I'm in a panic at this time of year but we seem to be organised. Although I have this nagging feeling I have forgotton something or someone!! Fingers crossed I haven't ;0)
Hi Eva
ReplyDeleteGreat that you still find time to draw something everyday, with all the things that you have to juggle. Love the baubles!
We are having an unusualy quiet Christmas this year. No cooking since we are going to a restaurant, and not many presents... Not much to do for me, which is something I am happy about. It could be more festive, but oh well, as long as it's a happy day...
I am so impressed that you still find time to draw every day :)
ReplyDeleteI love the furry hat on the top nutcracker... so cool. (I can't wait to see your collection!)
I still have lots to do (and should probably be doing some of it right now) hee hee
